Gentlemen,

It is obvious to me that engines are becoming rare to find especially as 
somebody is bidding £180.00 for a petrol paraffin Lister D at the moment on 
EBay. My private collections going to see my pension ok at this rate :-))

It's comparatively easy to get high prices in an auction, just a few mates 
acting "in concert" as the old bill say, and wait for some sucker to wave 
his hand and Bobs your Uncle.Used to happen at a Car Auction I used to 
frequent in another life. Always someone there who is impressed by swift 
competitive bids and thinks the lot must be worth a bit and gets carried 
away! There is a name for it, but it escapes me at the moment, I'm sure 
someone will enlighten me before the day's out.

Shill bidding. Really needs the colaboration of the auctioneer just in 
case one of the shill bidders actually ends up winning...
