I can really relate to that! 20 years ago I was at a Camden House auction,
and I was called away for an hour, so I left 11 written bids in case I came
back too late. All the bids I left were over the high estimate, and the
people there assured me "they would take good care of me".

James,
I agree with the point you're making, but this situation did already exist
with live auctions in the form of written absentee bids, albeit to a
lesser extent. I've never trusted absentee bids after I left one with one of
the
London auction houses. They accidentally placed my bid ag

Phil,
There's a very real difference today compared to the shill-bidding of
the past. Prior to internet bidding, there was no way for the "house
shill" to *know* what the other bidders were willing to pay as their
maximum bid. So it was much harder for a shill to keep pushing up the
price unl

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 wer
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?
