What is to prevent Mr. "X" from shill bidding the Wagner all the way to the max bid and therefore probably benefiting when the time comes to sell his own Wagner. Another scenario is where you have two employees that have become the best of buddies (BFFL). Employee #1 cosigns a lot to the auction house, employee #2 is a good guy and helps the lot along with some timely bidding. Luckily, stuff like that does not happen anymore  .

Iggy, comeon, obviously "Mr. X", when he's not saving the children or being an all-around great guy who has always treated me well, would never knowingly steal from his friends or violate federal laws. You're acting as if people in this hobby would violate the laws of our country as easily as they'd change their underwear. Sorry but you're just a bit too sarcastic and cynical for me today.
