Mike,

Same. They certainly aren't "shilling" when they're doing it to MY auctions.

Just causing chaos and generally disrupting things. I think a few of these schmucks use it as a strategy to sow distrust in an auction, and then swoop in and get it for cheaper.

Whether it's a sound strategy or not.......I do not honestly know. It is angering however.

I haven't had it happen to me in awhile....but I also am not running as many auctions as I used to. It used to be frustratingly common.
