I'd say use an account with a name we can recognize, otherwise, there's nothing to do about it.
Sometimes you won't have times going in here checking a list. IMHO.

I've pm'd one of our members a couple of times so we didn't get into a bidding war over some quality Consortiums. I knew he had more money than me so i backed off and let him have a go.
The way I think of it is that most people have a price they're willing to pay - if I find out Farmer and I are bidding on the same kicks i'll be upfront with how high i'm willing to go and i hope he'd do the same for me. i can't be too pissed about losing to someone with deeper pockets. that's just life.
it backfired on me once in the fall when i let a pair of 35th dassler's go for $380 because I knew the guy/reseller I was up against (not a member of the SSDB as far as I'm aware, though he mentions us in his listings) had a lot of cash. I'm sure I could've won them for $500 (which is what he resold them for), but I wasn't willing to pay $120 over the last bid to prove my theory.

There's a long arsed thread in here somewhere on this very subject.
I think the general concensus went something like leave it to the first person who bids on it if it's an item that comes up fairly frequently and every man for himself if it's something rare !
