My belief is a shill is under the table and a "book" bid would be above table....Sothebys and Heritage both allow these above table bids. It's debatable but I am not sure I am opposed to being open about this stuff. Otherwise, how many friends of consignors are bidding on their friends stuff "underhandedly"? Again, not sure which I prefer but I do see the legitimate "it's ok" side...as well as the other side that says "no" it's unacceptable......regards
