To Craig Schwartz,
"In each instance our bids were made with the intent to buy back the item and a willingness to pay the buyer’s premium"
Is that what you call a good business plan? What about the consignment premium? Didn't you have to pay that also? Doesn't that mean you'd have to purchase your own item and pay out about 30% (or more for both the buyer and sellers premiums) just to have the item consigned in the auction?
Here's the ebay definition of shill bidding:
Shill bidding happens when anyone—including family, friends, roommates, employees, or online connections—bids on an item
with the intent to artificially increase its price or desirability.
I'm not a very smart person, but doesn't what you indicate constitute "shill bidding" if you apply the ebay definition?
