May 12th Sotheby's is selling a DINO https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/ferrari/246-dino/1974/526151
It's hard to nail auctions houses down to "shill" bidding, because they can offer up a high "bid", like saying "$325K here on my right...", even when that bid may not exist, and if no other bids come in, they will drop to $250K and work back up. It's all a game. The easiest to follow for me have been Gooding and RM because they are both quite deliberate in their incoming bid actions, and go slow enough where they re not confusing their buyers. Nice Dino btw, I like @Skippr1999 's more though
"Chandelier bidding," or "rafter bidding" refers to an auctioneer looking up, as if looking far away towards that back of the room, and pointing with his hand or gavel at an illusory bidder and saying something like "I have $375,000 to you at the back of the room." Illegal for some types of auctions, but hard to prove, but usually done to create the appearance of interest in an item. In the U.S. it generally is legal but is frowned upon, and the auction house usually is required to disclose the practice or that the practice might occur during an auction.
