Ken, I was thinking entirely of it as a problem between Phil and the seller, and that any bidders would avoid the seller if they had a problem with it. Giving it more thought, there is the obvious problem (which was going right past me) of the winning bidders being shilled up by Phil. Phil was, in effect, acting as a shill for the seller, whether he intended it or not.
Sorry about that - oversight on my part, as I was trying to play devil's advocate for Phil.
