A semi-common tactic (from what I have heard) is to 'bomb' and auction,
by placing a huge bid, like $1000 on it, and nobody will be able to
beat you. Of course, if two people try this tactic on the same auction,
one of them is screwed.

 Maybe I misread and saw an extra zero, but this looks crazy to me:

 What's so special about this machine?
 Note: I have absolutely no affiliation with this auction (although I
 wish I was the seller).
