Thought I'd chime in with this story:

Had a local auction house, auction off an autographed BB with Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams & Joe DiMaggio. Reserve was $750. Auctioneer sold it for $700. I reminded him that it had the reserve, and he said don't worry about it.

Weeks later, I call in to ask for my money. He told me it didn't sell. Then he told me that his "In House" bidders were the ones who got it up to $700. What balls this guy had telling me he had shill bidders working for him!

I got my ball back and sold it the next day to a friend. Last time I deal with this scum.
