There was no confusion in the inquiry. Even though my maximum bid was
4% over the reserve price, if the shill bidding was not there, my bid
would come in at $121, $1 over the genuine bidding and well under the
reserve price. NO ONE won that item.

I've expected all biddings should be done with honesty. Would you
expect the same in the virtual world ?


The point is that even if there was shill bidding, if the shill
bidding was under the reserve price it has no effect on the outcome of
the auction.
