If the shill bidding is going on with Brent's auctions, then it is a highly risky procedure. It would also not be the brightest move in the world. Mastro and its spinoff Legendary were caught. Doing it on eBay, although traffic may help to hide the procedure, any entity that would be investigating the behavior would be able to see patterns of behavior and would be able to build a case from that end. The harder part would be linking actions on PWCC's end to the alleged shill bidding. If that happens, then........
