A visual summary of shill bidding.
Obviously, there is a split mirror leading down to the head of the gentleman featured in the postcard here, there and everywhere. That also applies to shill bidding by some auctioneers.
Well, the gentleman in the middle of the picture is pictured five times, but the main image doesn't show his face and maintains that point of anonymity to protect the person running the operation by having him obscured in the process of the company.
Translation: everybody looks the same. Now, let's run the infield.
The right-hand man is the employee allowed to enter shill bids.
The next image before the split is the consignor. Already a bidding war.
Now, there is the shortstop which is a short stop for the company to use by itself as the bidder instead of or in addition to the employee and the consignor.
Finally, the last base to touch before completing the circle, or the home run trot, is the use of AI. Ah, all these entities you are bidding against. What a poker game. No matter what, the corrupt auctioneer wins.
