Otherwise, why even bring it up? Just because a card isn't yours doesn't mean you can't shill it. Right Peter?
Where did he say that he has bid on a card because he was asked to? Can you please quote that? I only see where he was asked to bid on a card and didn't.

How is it shilling if you are willing to buy the card? If you see a PSA 8 52 T Mantle at a small auction selling for 100 k when you know it's worth 500k, are you going to let someone get a steal and make 400k or are you going to bid, even if you don't really want the card, because you know you can flip it for a huge profit?
