@ Lastgas15

I do not employ nor condone shill bidding, I just stated it has been around as long as auctions have. We conduct reserve bid auctions through our auction company and tell our consigners that they are not allowed to bid on their items.

If you have further questions about my auction ethics feel free to call me 765-918-2083 Eric.


What ever happened to the good ol' days?

"I am not seeing the issue here" I was talking about the item in which this post was written about.

FYI: Saying they have been doing it for years is no excuse. They been making moonshine for years... still illegal.

For all who think they know auction law, the UCC says that shilling bidding is illegal. Second all auction are with reserve unless the auction is advertised as "ABSOLUTE".

That is why Matthews Auctions used the this word in most of our advertising.

So if you go to either Peotone auctions this year and they dont use the term "absolute" in their advertising then you may be bidding against the owner of the item and it is legal.

Shilling bidding is when the auctioneer puts someone in the auction to bid on items in the auction, this is not the owner of the item.
