Simple as that.
I agree, but does our hobby differentiate? If PWCC included in their auction description that there is a hidden reserve on some lots and may be bid up to that amount by the house, will our hobby accept this?

I don't believe the use of hidden reserves (even though legal) is ever an acceptable practice with sports auctions.
