Yes, we do place bids on items in our auctions; this is not a secret, and GDJMSP explains very, very well why we and other companies do this. We place similar bids on items in other companies' auctions. The house wins items in our auctions all the time, with the idea that we can make a profit by reselling the item... and just as often the house places bids that are nowhere near the sale price of a lot.
