Opnions on shill bidding at a big auction house? Opinions/Advice??

The latest Legacy Rarities auction. I was the high bidder on the 1955 Bowman Football set at $1,150. I was bid #11. I was outbid with bid #12, but the bid is now $1,950. Why would the next bidder jump the bid in an $800 increment? Wouldn't he want to win the item as cheaply as possible?? I was just curious as to everyones' thoughts on this......
