I should add that shilling doesn't automatically mean raising each lot to the maximum bid. Just as house burglary doesn't automatically mean robbing every house in the neighborhood. That your house was never burgled doesn't prove no house burgled.
That paragraph has nothing to do with the auction house in this thread. I don't follow or bid there, so have zero knowledge on their practices. If they say they don't shill, I'll have no reason to think otherwise.
