    These auctions are run by people making a very modest middle class wage. If their contract renewal is based off how much they sell things for or what their auctions look like I'd think one would be VERY motivated to schill.

    The info would get back to management in an organization as big as that one. There are assistants to the assistant's assistant. Someone will notice.

    Really? Who is going to know if I go home(or to a friend's), make an mlb auction account, and then start bidding.

    No one is going to know unless I tell someone.

    Hundreds of independent auditors review every detail of every piece of business the club conducts. It just takes one metric being reviewed to throw a red flag. I'm sure they review the bid histories of their auctions and the personal information associated with those accounts in order to leverage the specific interests of those customers.

    It's possible no one notices, sure, but again, it's not like it's a guy in a basement calling himself an auction house with no accountability.

    That being said, I just looked through the CardsGurl bids for the last few months and I agree they lean towards the beliefs of the original poster and would be worth a message to the team if someone was so inclined.

    How ironic that since the question has been raised about this bidder ID on here that not one bid has been placed using it and several auctions have ran..........interesting. And I am seeing several new IDs that are completely new to the bidding on Cardinals auctions.

    I am thinking Cardsgurl16 is just on vacation or busy at work
