I do this sometimes and it is not collusion because you cant control the other 100 million people on ebay, but it is a nice gesture between friends in a small collecting niche and even if you get outbid or the price goes for what it normally would anyways, at least you know you and your buddies have each others collecting interests in mind.
To me it is no different than seeing a T206 that is underpriced at a show, but that you might already have but know a friend of yours needs. Instead of buying it and raising the price to your friend, you alert your firend to let them buy it and save them some money. Maybe apples and Oranges but thats how I see it.
