Larzz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Without commenting on The specifics of the listed company.. My brother-in-law is a retired auctioneer. He has run into both the bogus bidders (shills), who work for a company and enter bids to run up the price. They try to fall out just before the "real" bidder reaches his limit. And then there is the "Sky Bid" where the auctioneer points to a vacant corner and calls a bid. To find this kind of behavior going on in INTERNET bidding just restores my faith in humanity. For a while I was worried and thought the INTERNET was going honest and legit! The best advice he gave me was to know the value of what you are after and know your limit of what you want to spend. Don't get caught up in the excitement and overbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
