I wouldn't complicate things by talking to the auctioneer, etc. Just bid. As Scott says, any bid you make benefits the estate, so there is no conflict of interest. You are helping the estate by making sure it sells for a higher price than if you weren't bidding. Where's the downside or conflict of interest in that?
