It is the interest of the collectors to protect themselves from shill bidders and fraudulent auctioneers. But what Clio is doing is destroying the hobby and is putting many collectors in distress. You can't simply buy 1/3 of the auction lots every time driving the prices up without any collection theme. If you don't like what Clio is doing, I would propose that you send an email to the auctioneers mentioning it and informing the auctioneers that you will abstain from any future auctions until this calling station black hole gets blocked or disappears.
