Thanks speeder. A sure sign of a lost argument is the introduction of an ad hominem attack.

I'm not wrong. Your name calling or simple claim that I'm wrong doesn't make it so.

I have hundreds of years of established legal precedent to back me up. You have only your own uninformed opinion and an apparent lack of personal ethics. The illegality of shill bidding dates back to at least Roman times. Shill bidding remains illegal in most US and all Canadian and British jurisdictions. As I stated earlier, people can and have gone to jail for shill bidding on eBay.

The key to understanding the nature of the fraud that takes place is the misrepresentation perpetrated by entering phony bids in order to obtain a higher price. I really find it hard to believe you don't understand that it's both ethically and legally wrong to pretend to be someone else and/or give false information in order to gain money from another person.
