That actually can work in certain instances, such as if you have a dealer
going around trying to buy every single "X" that turns up. If he is really
aggressive and you eventually learn his target price, you can push him up
on every single listing, even if he snipes. This isn't something anyone
would normally want to do, but there are times when this can be a useful
tactic. In live auctions, and especially with cash only sales, this is
done all the time.
