The problem, as I see it, is that no matter if the book bidding is legal and disclosed in the rules section, NO ONE KNOWS WHEN IT IS BEING APPLIED!!
I think there should be a change in the laws which makes the auction house or cmpany TELL who has the highest bid. Something like a large LED display board which says, "BOOK", "PHONE", "WEB" and "FLOOR" after each bid is placed. This way bidders will know where the bid is coming from.
