- You can see how many unique bidders you are bidding against (a handy tool used to spot shill bidding).
- You can see how many bid retractions other bidders have (a handy tool to decide if you're up against shady characters)
- You can see how often someone is bidding and their bidding patterns (vital to spot shill bidding)
Name one auction house that provides these tools.

Are you saying the onus is on the
buyer to root out shill bidding??
And if it
is happening, the best way to handle it is to not bid?
