Default Live Auction: Standard Biscuit Cobb - Shill Bidding?

Posted By: Matt

Daniel:

"especially where the result can be to influence the amount of money the seller makes off it"

did you mean to say
A) "especially where the result influences the amount of money the seller makes of it"
or
B) "especially where the intent was to influence the amount of money the seller makes of it"?

If you meant A, I think the contention here is that my "interference" will end up bringing the seller more money.
If you meant B, I don't know what in my post made you think I'm trying to cause the seller a loss.
My intention was simply to help my brethren on the board.
You remind me of the guy who won't help pull someone out of a wreck for fear that they may sue you for tearing their clothes in the process.

Also, the second bid was NOT the high bid at the time. I think the confluence of the bid amount, the sellers matching unique items for sale and his close proximity should at least give pause.
