QE
Can the auctioneer tie another player's bid?
The rulebook forbids matching the auctioneer's bid and requires a positive opening bid.

No. Nobody may bid the same amount as the auctioneer, and the auctioneer's opening bid is public and must be positive, so the auctioneer also cannot be part of a zero-bid tie. Other tied players rebid in secret, and the auctioneer re-evaluates all bids.
