I have no issues with a dealer owning material that is being auctioned. It is the bidder's responsibility to research both material and auction house. If a potential bidder is concerned that a lot is owned by the auction house, ask before you bid. Employing sound bidding strategies is the most effective methodology to avoid the effects of shill bidding.

Steve and Barry are both assets to the hobby. I have never had any concerns bidding in either of their auctions.
