I do recall at least one instance where a guy bid $1, only to find that not only didn't his opponent overbid, but they came within $100.

If I remember the Price is Right FAQ correctly, that player was only $9 off. To be perfectly honest, I don't feel too sorry for the lowballer, because it's not like he would have beat $9 with a legitimate bid.
