David,

I'll agree with you that far...it is a type of shilling. But as most of us have found in our transactions over E-Bay, if shilling is done discretely it is difficult if not impossible to detect. People need to exert some discipline here. Let me put it this way...Sotheby's did not build their fancy auction houses by losing money on consignments.
