There are just way too many bidders out there who have no clue who they're going up against and therefore bid in good faith regardless of who has bid before them. It may discourage a few knowledgeable bidders but over the long haul this strategy is costing them waaaaaaay more $ than it should to complete their collections because other knowledgeable bidders resent this kind of bidding behavior and "bid up" items on them to try to teach them a lesson. I know I have "bid up" a few items I never intended to win just to discourage a particular a-hole from repeatedly buying the same friggin' thing I've been trying to get for months.
Sweet... I just bought the whole 25th anniversary set in Shrink for 24.95 (buy it now). I didn't have one of these (I still haven't ripped the shrink yet since I see it as great trade fodder).
