    that why sellers put reserves, high starting bids, and 70% of coins listed are buy it now.

    A shill can place one large bid in, and run you up just as effectively.

    True, and so can another sniper. And since he only gets one bid, it is hard to tell which it is. Nothing can protect you from a shill that places a big max bid early, or from another deep pocket sniper. But it is still the most likely bidding strategy to win auctions at no more than you absolutely have to pay.
