If I am going to bid on a an item of significant value (over a dime), I want to be able to look at the history of bidders in a seller's other auction. If I see someone who is consistently bidding on a seller's auctions, but never winning, I can be pretty confident that there is shill bidding going on. This is particularly true if I look at a bidder's history and find the same seller bidding on HIS items! This, I suspect, has taken place more in art, antique, and higher value collectible auctions. In any event, I tend to steer clear of any auctions that have hidden bidders. Buster Evans |
