I did address it. It would take approximately 96 hours to look at the amount of bid retractions for every bidder on every auction (with a threshold above $250). Which is only covering 20% of PWCC's auction. I think we can both agree that isn't a solution.

It would take even longer to look up every account creation date and then cross-reference that to when the consignment was received and that would end up being a purely speculative process. Brent might as well quit auctioning items and just work full time trying to nab shillers.

I agree.
Some of the greatest minds in the hobby frequent this board, I am genuinly interested in hearing a
viable solution to the problem.
If we're going to sit at our computers and bash a small business owner, how about we put in a little bit of thought and figure out a solution.
