I also think this is bad, added about this in the list I created earlier.
How do you "penalize" users around bitcointalk ? Isn't "negative rep" the term you are looking for ? I don't think raising bids by the Alt should be a problem.Eventually he will end up having the highest bid with his product unsold.
Not necessarily. He'll likely just use it to bump up the price then contact the other highest bidders and offer them it if the price is reasonable. I would leave negative if there was reasonable evidence for the behaviour.
Hope you guys stay true to your words..

He has done other auctions as well, I guess it is safe to assume, he probably would have done the same other times also with different alts.
Hey, So I saw someone in the auction who cheated in raising the bid with his alt. Is it allowed here or should the user be penalized for this?

Shill bidding is bad and I would drop a negative on someone for it. There is just no justification for doing it other than being greedy.

Quoting for reference.
EDIT: Seems shady but I can't continue research at the moment, will review more later.
I won't personally leave trust in this case as the amount in question is only ~$1, and I wouldn't personally not release collateral over $1 if I was personally owed money and I wouldn't let $1 hold up a deal. I wouldn't exclude anyone who does leave him negative trust from my trust network though.
Regardless I think Alex.onfire should refund tidus1097 the 0.005 if he can get an address of his.
