Just my opinion, you've been warned.

How do you know this? I would like to know how I can find out if a
given auctioneer likes to shill.

You never know FOR SURE.

1)"The Kid" misunderstood me and kept bidding an item up. I caught it just
before the end and called saying that it was a mistake and I'm not buying,
it was up to $500. They backed out my bid and the price was $125. It sold
for $150.

2) I've seen the same item at several auctions in a row.

3) Absolutely NOTHING goes for give away. Every normal auction has a few
things that went to high, most at a normal auction price, and then a few
steals.

Like I said, just my opinion.
