This is not defending shill bidding?

My interpretation of this statement is: it may be illegal, but lots of people do it, so that makes it ok.
Or did you actually intend something else. Because...

Once again you completely miss the point. It's not that you pay more than you are willing to, it's that because of fraud/misrepresentation you pay more than you ought to.

So, next time you go to...

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 guess you really are that dense.

Of course a shill bid is not a real bid. But it's indistinguishable from a real bid from a legit buyer's point of view. That's the whole point. You're supposed...

You guys seem to have strange ideas regarding what "market price" is.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the long term value of my Porsche. I plan to drive it until I'm old, then hand it down to one of my sons.

While I agree that PDK is infinitely preferable to Tiptronic, either one would be a deal breaker for me. I'd still prefer a good, old fashioned manual. I guess it's a personal thing- you're buying a...

A good PPI really doesn't cost much, and is good insurance against other issues that might not have come up during an engine rebuild. How do you know the brake lines don't need...
