the 2 extra accounts are in friends names in other parts of the country altogether...I cant see other peoples max bids so how can i shill my own items without risking buying them back...i would have to be willing to lose money on the sellers premium and the buyers premium...the other accounts are to protect myself from auction houses knowing who is bidding so they cant jack me up...ill even bid on the 1st day on 50 lots, knowing i wont win them at minimums, just so they dont know which ones i really want...the reason i started this thread is to show that you can control your bids without fear of being shilled just by being a smart bidder...its the bidder who provides the auction house with the ability to shill....they should be prosecuted for shill bidding....but if the bidders would stop giving them the opportunity...bidders could probably stop 90% or more...
