Buy-Up Offer with 25 People Standing By?

Not quite sure about this one...I have two separate reservations (one for a friend and one for myself) I am flying on a reward ticket so I am not eligible for an upgrade. My friend, however, is on an extremely discounted ticket ($178 for FLL-EWR) and was offered an upgrade at check-in for $150. Seems pretty cheap and not really fair to the 25 people standing by. Is this common policy? There is only one seat left in F.
