The problem with auctions in general is you don't know how much shilling is involved, which makes auction prices unreliable to bogus and is most likely to hurt law abiding investors. If you're buying shilled items and selling without shills, your returns likely won't be so pretty.
If an item sells for $11,000 on eBay, it's impossible to know what it means. It might mean the item sold for $11,000, it might mean it didn't sell and it might mean that it sold by $3,000 of the price is shills.
