Or do what I did once when I realized a plant was running up the bid on my wife. Most people have a pattern to bidding and she was no different. She is a Barbie dealer and there were a lot of doll and stuff. I told her to pick something she didn't really care about and let me know; then do exactly as I said. She indicated the item. The bidding started and went with no hesitation in bids till it was over $100. I kept whispering "bid", "bid" "now, no more bidding". He was waiting for the hesitation and would bid once more, knowing she'd bid again before stopping. There was no hesitation. He knew he'd been dumped on when I grinned at him. HE WAS PO'd at losing $100 but he never tried that on her again, either.
