Default some might not agree

Many potential bidders knew or should have known that shill bidding
was present in the auction, but were willing to pay an inflated value of an
item in order to own it. In such instances, there was no fraud.
C In instances where the bidding far exceeded the last shill bid, there was
no harm or loss incurred. Instead, the item went for its fair market value.
C The value of the item won and purchased has since increased. As such,
there is no loss to the winning bidder.
