I bet the auction house actually got mad at me when my lot ended with a shitty final bid;i.e-why didn't I have the sense to play the game properly?

Scott,
It's not easy for me to find dumb, I get to look in the mirror every morning and do my best Forrest Gump... The person told me this back when Mastro Auctions was going strong. I think it was before it turned to MastroNet. In any case I'll shock you by saying I was "shocked" to hear it....

Hopefully not. I'm not even sure that the consensus of forum members believe that there is anything wrong with shilling your own auctions.

I am willing to give the vast majority of the members of this forum credit for believing shilling their own auctions is wrong. What I will say is that I believe the majority of hobbyists aren't bothered enough by the misdeeds of others to stop doing business with them. And I think they (the others) know this and have counted on it for years. There's just something about this stuff of ours.

As far as being bothered by the misdeeds of others, I have no idea who in particular are shilling their own auctions, and it's really impossible to stop doing business with all hobbyists. If we stopped doing business with any Auction House that permitted it, we would have to stop doing business with all auction houses, as it's impossible for them to keep consignors from getting their friends to shill for them. That would leave you just trading with your most trusted friends and buying cards at flea markets. I think the Legendary convictions were a good start. But I don't know, any more than you do, which auction houses are still shilling their own auctions.
