Names withheld to protect the stupid

I’m totally serious about this, no sarcasm intended or implied. Using the below as a barometer please answer the following Auctions Askew query…

Name1 (Wed Jun *****) - $10.00
Name 2 (Wed Jun *****) - $20.00
Name 3 (Wed Jun *****) - $25.00
Name 4 (Wed Jun *****) - $50.00
Name 5 (Wed Jun *****) - $75.00
Names 6 (Wed Jun *****) - $100.00
Name 7 (Thu Jun *****) - $101.00
Name 6 (Thu Jun *****) - $110.00
Name 8 (Thu Jun *****) - $111.00
Name 9 (Fri Jun *****) - $150.00

When the site clearly states that the minimum increment of bid is $1. See example:

The High Bid Is: $95.00
The Lowest You May Bid Is: $96.00

Why would you inflate the price with bids that are $10, $20 and $50 higher than the previous bid? That’s it, thanks!
