heh this happens all the time at auctions - EVE or not.
Its always the mysterious "phone bidder", who is very active at the start and stops bidding once the reserve is met.
I wouldnt be trusting the "OK the bid is now at 550mil sir - received by private eve-mail." in other auctions either.

Ive been at Several auctions and it is NOT considered Foul Play for the owner or his representitive to bid in their own auction.

I wasn't calling it foul play, merely commenting on the fact that it is nothing new and probably shoudn't be causing so much fuss.

Hmm.
06:55 Lord Solo posts a 400mil bid for his own bp, making the schoolboy error of not selecting his alt before posting.
10:10 Lord Solo spots his mistake, thinks no-one has seen it and edits his post to simply say "bump"
10:11 Lord Solo bids 380mil, this time correctly using his alt "Die Hard"
11:00 I choose to make this sequence of events known to all
Rofl, told so well

Not foul play, but 'play' where most people dont want to have any buisness with.

yes i did put 400m when i meant to bump instead and Die Hard is not my alt.
Worst. Excuse. Ever.
The biggest question that I have is how you thought that noone would notice if you changed it, you left it up for like 3 hours. Then posting with an alt the same thing that you'd edited out less than a minute before?
Its one thing to try to scam an auction, but doing it so poorly is almost insulting.

Seeing how intelligent dude is, he will prolly create an alt named Die Hard 2 and bid 400m immediately again...

Wasteland Miners can offer you 310 million isk for this bpo. Contact myself or Grimmy Deathstar if that ends up being the highest offer, and is acceptible to you.

Ekhm, it seems to me he will rather pay himself 400MLN than get 'just' 310 from you...

everytime a new bid is put in the auction is extended by 15 mins.
I suggest we 3 get into a convo on TQ and end the bid there.
This seems kind of ridiculous.
But I'll bid 340 mil here right now

As I understand it the auction will keep running till nobody bids within the 15 mins after the last bid (everytime the bid is "raised" by someone else the auction is extended by 15 mins).
Currently my bid is highest untill 15 mins are over or someone makes a counteroffer which is higher.
