I have backed off coins that friends have wanted, but not with the intent of holding down prices. If I know someone wants it more than me, needs it more than me, and/or can outgun me, I will often pass. I do not believe that this is collusion.

I said yes just because I can.

I have colluded with myself and not over bid so that someone else could have it for a price I was not willing to pay hence the price is lower than if I would have bid again.

…

if someone else wants the coin more then me, im going to make him pay for it. I will not back off, but will probably go a little bit higher than usually in this situation.

I have bid on a variety cent that does not come up often and been
PM'ed to find out how high I was willing to go.

No.

There have been times when I knew some big money boys were after certain auction lots, so I passed on them thinking I would be outbid anyway.

Al- I have not been to an auction floor in 16 years- can't say I have colluded even during that time..

Al,

You and I were both guilty of that in Michigan a couple of yrs. ago.

I have been in partnerships that purchased coins at public auction. This was much more prevalent in years past. In the spirit of the law, it probably is collusion. A true partnership should be in place before the auction, along with documents, IMHO. Otherwise, it is probably illegal.

Yeah, I do that sometimes. If some turkey on eBay keeps outbidding me when we are chasing the same coins, I will bid more than I otherwise might to make him pay -- and make him pay too much in some instances. So is this "reverse collusion"?
