While I'm sure auction companies will not make their bidder lists public, I can see a good business opportunity for someone to act as an auction "auditor". If I was one of the major auction houses, I would be willing to let an independent auditor come in and verify things like 1) no shill bidding, 2) policies being adhered to, etc. This is assuming that the auditor signs confidentiality agreements, etc. That stamp of approval from a truly independent source would mean a lot to me as a customer given the rumors of shady dealings flying around the hobby right now.
