It is wrong and illegal to do that. Assuming you (Jim) in this case was interested and did indeed back off.
Put yourself in the sellers shoes, 10 yrs from now you decide to sell, 2 or more persons conspire on who bids on what. Now do you still like it? I am amazed that people talk so openly about this. What would you do if a seller came on here and openly made the claim that he shills his auctions? Because basically you are doing that in reverse. The amount does not matter either.
I will now take the beating that surely will come my way.
