[QUOTE="tibor, post: 2794904, member: 73385"]The stepping away from a lot or lots in a coin auction has been going on for over a hundred years. In many large auctions in the 50's and 60's (Farouk comes to mind) dealers would meet before an auction and plan their bids accordingly. John Pitman would stand near the front of an auction and raise his bidders paddle and sternly look at the audience daring them to raise his bid, hence the nickname Statue of Liberty. Trying to prove any wrong doing between bidders is almost impossible to prove.[/QUOTE]
