Default Poll: Should Suspect Auctions be Outed?

Posted By: martindl


I don't mean to gunk up a good yea or nay thread with perspective, but as Marty P pointed out, the appearance of shilling does not mean that thats what is happening.

I sell postcards and I've had an instance in the last month where I was blessed with a zero feedback bidder who for some reason liked my offerings. He/She decided to bid on a bunch of random offerings (some town views, some Greetings, some Foreign, etc.) and by all appearances it sure looked like shilling. It wasn't, but I bet it kept some bidders away and some that won probably felt like they got run up.

I vote yea on the obvious forgeries, nay on anything that might look like shilling.
