 Shill bidders have no effect on someone who knows their own mind,

Not quite that bad. Here's the A, B, C and D schedule base fees for an 
$1100 car.
A and B are for professional accounts. C and D are for consumers paying 
by money order, or $60 more for credit cards etc.
Plus there's a $59 gate fee for picking the car up, and a $59 internet 
fee for being allowed to bid on it.
And there might be a title fee for not being a dealer, I can't remember 
for sure.


$1,000.00 - $1,199.99   $200.00 $255.00 $325.00 $385.00

They surely have an effect if they make it impossible to buy the car for 
one bid increment above the second highest legitimate bidder.

It ended up getting no bids during live auction so sold for $1100  to some guy 
in Kentucky, about $1700 after fees.

Agreed, but not everyone is this rational.

Shill bidders have no effect on someone who knows their own mind,
and what they're looking at.  You decide what you're willing to pay,

Do they disclose anything about the seller? If an insurance co, chances
that they have shills bidding it up to reduce their losses on a
total/write-off settlement? If anyone can do the risk/reward calculus on
that it would be an insurance company.
