It's a private auction with 5-8 bidders so how can you tell if it's shill bidding??


You can't. Read my post again. I wasn't suggesting that seller was shill bidding, I said occasionally, that's why some sellers will make their listings private.....alomg with the other reasons I gave.

 

Plenty of sellers make their listings private as a matter of course, because that's what they want to do, not because they are up to no good. Long term sellers might still make their listings private because that's what they've always done, back from the days where bidders names weren't made anonymous like they are now.
