Is it naughty to get somebody to bid for your item on ebay?

[Desmo]

Hi all

Chucked up an old hub on ebay with no reserve. It's down to less than two hours and now somebody has bid 99p. I know I should have put a higher starting price but I thought it might generate a bit more interest.

What happens if somebody I know bids on it to bump the price. If they then win it, can I just cancel it all and pretend it was sorted off line?

I don't mind the hub going for a little amount, but 99p seems a waste of time really :/

Still, lesson learnt and all that.
