Joe -- why don't you ask Josh if he's engaged in shill bidding in his auctions and get back to us? If he denies it why don't you ask him to sue me for libel?

OK, I give. Who is Josh?

Until a significant amount of spenders are prepared to stop bidding AND consigning I wouldn't look for much to change. It's the deny yourself part that's tough and that they count on us not being able/willing to do.
