Quoted from silverball

I agree, that was the first time I had stuck around for the auction since they began
having starting bids.  The shilling before was frustrating and annoying, not to mention
it prolonged the auction unnecessarily.

I remember a guy showing up in an Civic or some other compact car one time and I watched
him bid on and 'win' about 15 items the one day.  It wasn't too obvious what was going on there.
