Suspicous Speaker Auction ?

I just participated in a speaker auction, this brand speaker is highly rated and was being auctioned by a dealer, as I bid it seemed that I would hit a lever and it would stay there for awile and then take a big jump, I bowed out at 50% of list and the winning bid was only $20 higher, anyway I had a funny feeling about this auction, 2 days after the auction was over the dealer contacted me and said the winning bidder had defaulted and that I could have the speakers, this kind of confirmed my suspicions, I don't want to name names as I may be way off base here, but I am wondering if any others have had similar experiences ?

Last year I had a similar experience. No names mentioned, but contact me at jdubusc@juno.com if you wish. Jim.

Forward the pertinent information to Audiogon. They can track the IP addresses as to who placed the bids, etc... Believe it or not, Arnie and the others are trying to do their best to make this site as enjoyable and reliable as possible. In order to do this, they need to know about unethical members or dealers. The only way that anybody will ever know for sure if these situations are "shill bidding" is to do some follow-ups. Do us all a favor and take the time to make them aware of what happened. Sean
