This does not fall under the category of selling over another's sale. Rather, it falls under the permissible bidding mentioned by the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the of Tirmidhi. As for trying to find out the prices of others in order to offer a lower price, if it is without spying, there is no harm in it. But if it involves spying, then it is not permissible, due to Allah’s saying: "And do not spy."
