It’s definitely more convenient to cover it up and hold a fake auction.
This is the only hobby I’ve been a part of where convenience is considered an appropriate reason to do the wrong thing, to cover things up, to lie, or to host frauds. I’m sure it’s not the only one, but my other hobbies have been so much cleaner than this.
That it is more convenient to do X is not really a justification for X, and we all would think that if I was the seller instead of an auction house many people like.
