Seen it happen once at a live auction...a woman said I'll split the lot with you if you stop bidding and the auctioneer stopped and told her she just broke the law and if she wanted to continue at the auction she won't do that again. You could see the embarrassment on her face...she must have left shortly after because I didn't see her again after that.
