<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3707098, member: 19463&quot;]When I think of a shill, I think of a situation where the shill bidder has <u>inside</u> information on the size of maximum bids placed so he can bid just under that maximum insuring the lot will go for the full greatest bid.&nbsp; The shill takes no risk of having to buy the lot since he knows there is a bid higher.&nbsp; This hurts people who bid very high for a coin they want very much but that receives no other bids.&nbsp; Lets say you bid $1000 for a coin worth only $100 to most people but is needed for your set completion.&nbsp; You suspect a shill when the lot receives a bid of $990 from the house or the seller&#039;s agent.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is this wrong?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
