Is it wrong to bait a shill bidder?

Would it be wrong to bid on an item that you suspect of being shill bid to provoke a reaction?

Only if you end up buying the item for waaaayyy too much. :twisted:

Outbid within two hours by the same id that has been slowly bidding up the auction.0 feedback user. So I reported the auction.

Nothing RB related though so no real interest here.

Shill bidder baiting is always of interest here!

Unless it's an item that is in some way embarrassing...

Of course it could be a new customer to the site (We all had to have our first successful bid!) who really really wants that item...
