<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 1472993, member: 20201&quot;]The pool is a group of maybe 5 to 10 dealers that I am remembering that I stayed clear from. I knew a hundred good dealers or more in my time so those bad eggs are the minority. Sort of like flies in a kitchen.</p><p>Yes I understand that it could work the other way too in favor of the general bidding at an auction.</p><p>I have seen the auctioneers, who are sometimes just as guilty, look to the back of the room and call one of those numbers of the pool even if they weren&#039;t bidding to drive up a bid.</p><p>I kid you not, and I bet other oldtimers who have seen a lot of auctions have seen this happen a time or two themselves.</p><p>Some auctioneers, not all, but some are not very far up on the food chain either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
