How it works around where I grew up is the owner and the auctioneer would both be at grave risk of getting their @sses kicked.
My dad has thrown up his hands and challenged 2 auctioneers to show him where the other bidder is. Boy, you never seen a red face like those clowns had when he busted them right there on the hay rack in front of everybody and made them do the "start over" call of shame. Several men yelled out don't EVER try that again unless you want your @ss kicked.
Owners being allowed to bid is a total d!ck move on the auctioneers part. It should never be allowed and no reputable auctioneer would ever allow it.
Everybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that the way to deal with this situation is a reserve. If the cheapskate owner doesn't have the seeds to sell it for what it's worth at the auction, then be a man and put a reserve on it and advertise it that way.
If you see this kind of stuff happening, IMO I owe it to the other bidders to call out the auctioneer. Only the threat of getting known as a fraud auctioneer will stop these guys because they'll see sale attendance and prices drop and with it will go the commissions.
