Default Auction House Conflict of Interest

Posted By: boxingcardman

For example, the last lot I won from Mastro was at roughly half the max bid I put in. I've won cards there more than once without hitting my bid top.

Has anyone here actually been shilled? I know most are going to say that they have no idea...and that's the problem with this whole conspiracy theory approach--you are damning in the absence of knowledge. I mean, I could say that Bush started the war solely so his family and cronies bcould profiteer from it. I can't prove it, but lots of people would believe it and lots of people would get very ticked off by it (and no I am not going political here, so skip the indignation--it is an example of how readily you can come up with an explanation in the absence of facts. Another term for it is myth-making.
