Default Live Auction: Standard Biscuit Cobb - Shill Bidding?

Posted By: MVSNYC

"outing a live auction of a vintage card that is listed in the correct category has absolutely 0 effect on the auction outcome"

matt- an auction can be listed in the right spot and it could be featured on eBay's home page for all i care, BUT, the point is that once an auction link is posted here...1,000's of eyes (as someone mentioned earlier), will go right to the auction...and i think it is safe to say that NOT EVERY person knew about the auction or saw it...THEREFORE, it "outs" a live auction...and in theory you have just invited MORE bidders to jump in...and inadvertently pist off several people that were either bidding or watching the lot...

gabeesh?

you went on to say...

"It does, however, disprove the notion that outing an auction will definitely affect the outcome...If you disagree, that means you believe that outing an auction always effects the outcome"

"definitely"..."always"..."absolutely"...

are you sure you want to use these strong words?
