In my opinion, it is not any one person's place (or any group's place) to rule on who can win what auctions. We should just encourage sisters to act as sisters, and suggest that they respectfully communicate.
I've had a sister tell me what she bid, saying that unless I wanted to top that, I was just driving up the price. (this is a paraphrase; she was more eloquent, respectful and tactful.) I was glad to get that email, b/c I was not interested in outbidding that price

and was wasting my time on that item. Again, the key here was
communication.
(how did I get on my soapbox again???)
