I kind of thought the whole thing was fun for charity. It wasn't about him changing his name as much as it was about giving people something fun to put their money towards. If people don't donate because mean ol' Tube pulled a fast one they they are dumb.
Part of me feels like Tube using an alt will make people more hesitant about bidding next year.
Assuming he does it again, yeah. Seriously, this strikes me as pretty lame. I'll freely admit I didn't bid this year (I do plan to donate some money directly), but if I had I'd be kinda miffed. Seems like he should at least go along with it for a month or two. I mean I know it's for charity, and nobody's gonna feel bad about donating... but $3000? God damn.

Pretty much this.
Everything I wanted in the auctions went out of my price range, so I was still able to donate even a small amount for something that brought me a good bit of amusement.
No one got ripped off. I said I'd change the name of the account that won. I did. Then I made another one. Nowhere in the auction anywhere did it say that the victim had to continue posting with the same account. As for "well this will stop people donating next year", it's incredibly presumptuous for you to assume that I was going to do it again next year.
If you feel you got ripped off ho shit it turns out you didn't.

if you ran for President of Earth, i'm pretty sure you would win in a landslide
just for the fact that you would outsmart everybody else into voting for you

It has nothing to do with what you were going to do next year. I just think that if you can reneg on an item for an auction and not have any form of retribution, why shouldn't everyone be allowed to do just that. And then, if that is true, why should anyone bid?
But I suppose its all for the better if you get what you want.
