That is true. I tend to post comments on these type of threads that are pro-pwcc because I feel he is unfairly singled out. This type of activity most likely takes place at every major auction house and in auctions from most if not all ebay sellers who accept consignments. Heritage states they shill their own auctions in their terms and conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is the case with others. I don't remember many other AH owners discussing shilling and what they try to do to stop it, other than Brent, and I feel he does deserve some credit for that at least.
