Why don't you put a <CFIF...> in the output ?
<TABLE CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" BORDER="0">
<TH>Alias</TH> <TH>Amt. Bid</TH> <TH>Bid Date</TH>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="getbids" maxrows=5>
<TR BGCOLOR=###IIF(getbids.currentrow MOD 2, DE ('FFFFFF'), DE ('grey'))#>
<TD>#Alias#</TD> <TD><CFIF CurrentRow eq
5>#BidAmount#<CFELSE>$$$$$</CFIF></TD> <TD>#BidDate#</TD>
</TR>
</CFOUTPUT>
</TABLE>
