Matt"Jim - "Got an e-mail from a whale recently asking me not top (sic) be interested in a particular card and in return he would do same on a card that I was interested in."
Matt- "I've always wondered about such arrangements; it's seems like it would be collusion and illegal, but I also see it is a buyer's yin to the seller's yang of potentially shilling."
Steve - I disagree Matt. We minnows do it all the time. If Patrick is keen on a particular catcher card that he knows that I too may be interested in an exchange of emails will settle it. No need to run up a fellow member. It's a matter of congeniality we all expect from fellow collectors."
I didn't make the case on way or the other; just said I was conflicted about it. However, respectfully, saying that you do it all the time doesn't logically make it right.
