Runscott and I were at probably the biggest and highest quality antique store in downtown Seattle on Friday. Scott was chatting to the owner about major auctions, and I brought up collectors who worry about placing ceiling bids and such issues at big auction houses. The owner chuckled to himself and said, "Ah, the conspiracy theorists."

Just thought if funny.


Though, interestingly, he also said that with live in-person auctions, he usually stays around if he has placed bids to make sure nothing funny happens.
