How do you feel about a Coral website that has auctions with no reserve BUT they are bidding on their own auctions? Is this common practice? A way to say no reserve BUT actually they are covering themselves?
 
Ooh fishy. I’m paranoid so I always wondered if this just happened anyways. But without a bot it’s an effort. Kinda seems like more trouble (work) than it’s worth. Just set a reserve, unless they’re trying to rid the prices to the higher end rather than trying to cover base cost.

Do they bid no matter what price range?

Is there a large or small lot of auctions?
