If you are bidding with an honest intent to win those items it's often the easiest way to do things rather than trying to make an accommodation with the estate.
Any bidder who is trying to win something for the purpose of possessing it is acting ethically.
It's actually a common occurrence in estate situations, that and multiple people wanting the same heirloom. In auction school the instructors almost drool when describing the times they had multiple family members fighting over the same item of high sentimental but low retail value.
