Where shill bidding bothers me is where the auction house knows a max bid (not possible for an ebay seller) and tells the consignor so they can run up the max bidder.

Is everyone on here really so pure that they have NEVER bid on a card they consigned, or asked a friend to bid on a card they were auctioning? Somehow, I doubt it.

Yeah, feel free to ridicule me for condoning FRAUD!!

NOW you're enjoying the hobby! Congratulations.
