Delta sets up bidding for bumping. Is it a game of The Price is Right?

Delta Air Lines just announced a new program where the Delta computer will ask passengers about how much they are willing to accept in the case that they need to bump someone from an overbooked flight. In effect it is a blind auction for getting voluntarily bumped or you might look at it as an airline version of The Price is Right.
