It's called PHANTOM BIDDING..... 
The "house" just tosses in numbers like someone was/is bidding. Real bidders are called "real money"... 
What you don't know - and it happens all the time - is that the "pros" have guys that will bid to "bump" a bid along, but they know what the reserve is. And sometimes a seller will buy their own car back in a no reserve auction rather than lose money.
