Exactly so! Cheating, in other words.

Oh good grief.

Why don't you just give your house away.? Then you'll be able to
sleep with a clear conscience.

Here is the dictionary meaning of cheat, cheating, etc:

1. To deceive by trickery; swindle: cheated customers by overcharging
them for purchases.
2. To deprive by trickery; defraud: cheated them of their land.
3. To mislead; fool: illusions that cheat the eye.

Tell me which bit you don't understand and I'll try to explain it.

I understand all of these perfectly, but no cheating is taking place.
There is nothing wrong with a vendor legally maximising his sale price
by inviting multiple bidders. The deal isn't closed until the
paperwork is signed so how can cheating have happened.?
