Nothing, except that if you get caught, it's some kind of fraud.

There's that, and the possibility of ending up the high bidder and screwing yourself out of a sale. There's no guarantee the other people will outbid what you psuedo-bid. And chances are if they want it that badly someone else will want it too and it would have got run up there anyway.
