For the record, I worked for the better part of a year at Sotheby's cataloguing the Halper collection, and during the auction I was permitted to bid. Sotheby's has special employee bid sheets that I filled out, and I left my bids. They didn't want me raising my paddle in the room, but had no problem with me bidding.

I didn't think it was a big deal, nor did they.
