Portland, ND
I saw it happen here a couple years ago on a large piece (combine or 4WD). One guy on site actually bidding, auctioneer pulling fake bids. Guy on site stopped bidding, and when the ghost bidder didn't show up, the on site bidder made the auctioneer start over. It was around 20k difference in price, and the auctioneer looked like a fool/crook.
