I don't know how this would work, because when you place a bid on eBay, it
will only show the amount necessary to beat a previous bid. Which means if
this guy is running in $10 increments, someone had $990 on it.

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.
