Dear Steve:
Whilst you may believe it is :"wrong" to call another bidder and ask
him not to bid on an item which you have an interest, we can not
believe that there is a single state in the United States that has
law forbidding such an action.
In fact, we have attended a plethora of coin and card auctions, where
major dealers sat in the audience and openly agreed that they would
not bid against one another.
We're not even sure if there is an ethical issue here. People across the
United States and the world, for that matter, will agree not to bid in
exchange for some form of quid pro quo in order to lower their price.
Thanks for your attention.
