Shilling would definately be unethical. I may have been a victim of it though - although I never go too high.

I once had the hight bid on an Ontario RAT3 LE at like $50 for 5 days. I was outbid on the last day of the auction, and I battled it out up to like $100 and then quit. Either a Shill or someone else who knew what it was and what it was worth!

Brian - thanks for the answer, I appreciate it.
