A "serious bidder" is going to be willing to pay whatever their own personal maximum is, regardless of whether other "serious bidders" or non-serious bidders caused it to be reached. Everyone is looking for a bargain, even "serious bidders". Shills hired by the auction company aren't going to be affected by the registration fee or a proof-of-funds requirement. Charging $150 just for the "pleasure" of bidding from one's home computer is just a money grab.

Auctions are a business that serves a need, and they are very good at what they do. They have a magnetism that turns spectators into bidders, and they use every tool at their disposal to do exactly that. Shills are a reality in the business of auctions and for that matter, in the business of sales of all manner of products from snake oil to real estate.

It's a business interested in maximizing revenue. They do what the market will bear. It's a way of getting some revenue from non-bidders. They make the rules. We can either participate or not as we choose.

Look at post #12, I posted a few pictures......"maybe" a folkstone grey 40 behind the "modern" T-Bird. ANYWAY sorry our paths didn't cross. FUNNY, everyone is "WOW-ing" over but just a smattering of the whole collection you and I had the privilege of seeing....I wonder what the comments would have been had they seen it in it's entirety.

Re: The Ron Thorne Collection
Upon watching it on line, a perfect example of why you should never EVER sell your car at an auction…
