I’m new to this site but I don’t think I will bid on anything with confidence. What is the point of having an auction if someone will preemptively call the listing’s value, overbid it, thus inflating the price. Ebay and other sites would not allow this to happen as it becomes suspicious that someone known to the seller is purposely inflating their item value. You may think to yourself the item is worth 50K but if by means of interest, moment in time, market, you are able to buy for a reasonable fair price, why not? Now the item is at 5 K and you are allowed to jump the bid to 15K at one shot? And you were the one announcing the car should be sold for 20K is very suspicious. Sorry, not for me.
