Oh, wow... and we thought the double-talk about a clearly faded poster being described as may be faded was disingenuous. This article is bizarre, in it the President of Heritage admits that they have been using a shill (s?) to bid on their auctions, but is actually quoted as claiming that it

This is actually in the fine print in their auction catalogue. Most auction catalogues also indicate to the auction houses' representations and warranties in connection with the originality of the pieces they auction as well as their liabilities in connection with fraud. More people should try

Sorry to double post, but I had to read the article over a couple of more times just to cut through all the double-talk (and all the useless testimonials posted as comments at the end of the article). When I had done that I just had to post my own comment on the article: So, just because

I didn't say it was Okay. In fact I expressed indignation on this board a long time ago when Grey revealed this tidbit of information several months ago. But if it is disclosed upfront in its catalogue, it certainly gives Heritage some legal cover. FRANC -Original Message- From: MoPo

What repercussions will this have (if any)? Using shills (whether disclosed or not) doesn't look good seems sneaky, whether that info is disclosed in the fine print, or not. again.. it will remain to be seen, since papers have ben filed. will it go forward? be settled? or thrown out?

My favorite line is it only wins between one and two percent of the auctions it bids on. I wonder how someone could be such an incredible guesser that they only win between one out of 50 to one out of 100 times they bid. One would almost think they might possibly know what the person they were

Many auction houses (and I remind everyone that auction laws differ country to country) and private auctioneers reserve the right to have the house bid on the item, or allow the seller to bid on the item. That is, disclosed shill bidding. If the potential buyer is aware that these are the rules
