But from what I hear about Rick and his reputation, I'm sure he will tell him to not shill on his consignments. Not sure what good that will do it he has other accounts.

What he should do is refuse to take any more consignments from the shiller--why agree to profit from a known cheater?

Yes Sir! If I was in Rick's shoes I would do exactly that (assuming I (Rick) agreed shilling took place). I think he has a lot to gain & maintain by refusing more consignments from the shiller. He has potentially more to lose by continuing with him. With the amount of business he does I can't believe one consignor would put a dent in his business. However, keep in mind he can't start banning every consignor that is accused of shilling - he has to be sure.

All he has to do is check the bid history. Bidder IDs are not hidden from the seller. I'd be surprised if he hasn't checked yet.
