I'm sure others have done this (at least I hope they have).

When I went thru the wasted period of my youth doing proxy bids, sometimes I would make an auction a "hot item" (30 bids). If you're top bidder and above the next increment, it is very cheap to do. One can place 100 proxy bids by increasing your last max bid by 1 cent. 100 bids only increases your top bid by $1.00. 200 bids (well, you get the idea).

Sometimes this would cause other bidders some confusion: want to bid; want to run away. Had one seller cancel the auction because he thought I needed medication (good call).

This DOES require a certain amount of dedication, as there is some time involved in placing 100 or 200 bids. But if you're a sicko, time is relative. And if you're bored, time is subjective.
