Will HaysThanks, Josh, for the note. I'm not suggesting a fear of conspiracy or any conspiring at all, for that matter. I'm glad we got the 'private' issue sorted out, but the only way that could be abused, I think, would be if the seller was somehow manipulating auctions himself under the cloak of non-disclosure of bidder name. My point is only that I really don't have the time to mess with that stuff and it's dishonest anyway.
We just post 'em and let 'em run. All of our items are consigned, by the way, so, while I want to get the highest prices I can, I'm not at all interested in keeping material regardless of the final bid price. I like it that way; keeps me out of the equation and, hopefully, increases bidder confidence.
