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

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.
