What is a shill?

  1. Legal method to boost auction sales

  2. Unethical way to attract genuine bidders

  3. Person used to inflate bids illegally

  4. Strategy to encourage fair bidding

The correct answer is: Person used to inflate bids illegally

A shill is a person who is used to inflate bids illegally during an auction. This individual is not a genuine bidder but is employed to give the impression of increased interest and competition among bidders. Shilling is considered unethical and deceptive in the auction industry, as it distorts the true market value of the items being auctioned. It is important for auctioneers to maintain transparency and integrity in their practices to ensure fair and legitimate bidding processes.
