Default Poll: Should Suspect Auctions be Outed?

Posted By: Jim VB

<<If the OP WAS 75% sure or more of shill bidding you'd still rather not have the listing outed?>>


For about the third or fourth time (only counts as one vote though)-

HELL NO!

I can not conceive of a case where you can be sure of shill bidding (51% sure, 67% sure, 75% sure, 99% sure).

Use this auction as an example. I still see 0% shill bidding. You saw 75% or more. Although you had no real impact in the end, you could have cost the winner some money and you did impugn the reputation of the seller. Whatever you saw had zero impact on the winners top bid and, apparently, none on the underbidder.

There was nothing to "out."
