[QUOTE="NameYourself, post: 2234020, member: 13707"] If you truly suspect shill bidding, then as mentioned by the others, report it. Also, just because names reach end-user range prices does not directly indicate shill bidding. I've sent domains to auction myself at times once there are a handful of interested buyers (accumulated over time). Other times, an end-user may contact the seller while an auction listing is active or have been recruited to join the bidding through the seller's own marketing efforts. In either event, the final bid price might end above what one would expect from a reseller crowd of other domainers looking to flip. If in doubt though, research the names, follow up on them the next week, month, etc.. does the whois change? Build a case based on actual evidence to support the hunch, and if its still all off then of course report it. [/QUOTE]
