I'm on pool.com too.  I always figured that if they bid against you
themselves, they might... win.  Which buys them nothing.

When the domains I've backordered come up, I've planned the same.  A
couple hundred dollars for a good domain which becomes yours is worth
it.  In theory, the squatters already lost the domain.  Pool.com leaves
a bad taste in my mouth, but they *are* providing a difficult and
valuable service.

If you lose the auction... it would be interesting to see what the site
becomes.
