yes, I would agree that it would be hypocritical to slam the auction house and then bid anyway and more honor and integrity are always good things.

However, I have no problem with all the non-hypocritical people who chose to place bids.

I don't think it's hypocrisy so much as addiction. I think many of us would have a very difficult time going a month, or two months, or six months, without buying a card.

I have no idea what you're talking about! I can quit anytime I want to! I really can!

Guys, I'll say this for the 30th time: if I only bid in auctions in which I don't believe there is a good chance I'm being defrauded I'd be bidding in one auction a year. I've cut down on bidding in the past six months in auctions in which I believe fraud is rampant and have added very few cards to my collection, unfortunately. However, if I have any interest in expanding my collection at all, I occasionally still bid in these auctions.

All that being said, being critical of an auction house does not give that auction house the right to defraud the critic.
