How does one person spend 3500$ on a 180$ tablet: write a bot.

Each time someone makes a bid on your penny auction have the bot automatically make a pretend bid using a fake user. When people finally stop bidding, make a final bid from another fake user that has never bid before and win the auction for $0.80.

You don't even need the iPad!
