I think many of us could say the same thing. I know I can. But as I said earlier in this thread, how do I know I wasn't shilled by the consignor on some of my purchases? I really never gave it much thought until all this came out.

No one can tell you that because there is probably a lot of truth in that statement. However, this thread exposed a shiller (pank21) and, if nothing else, might possibly make consignors (with Probstein or any other consignment service) think twice about shilling their own auctions because of the fear of being caught.
A big thanks to the sleuths over on the CU boards!
