RE: Cat Flipping
To me, Kitty-Flipping is more a case of sour grapes because they COULD have asked for more but didn't. If you feel people are doing that to you, it's a clear sign they think you're under-valuing your cats.
I agree, auctioneers should frown upon it. But, here, it looks bad because it is a clear indicator that they are not doing their job right by getting the best possible price for the seller.
As to its being bad for the market, no, I'd suggest it's good. Yes, it's bad for the individual seller who finds they've had a cat flipped. But it does push the average price up, which is what y'all want, right?
And it's not 'dishonest' .. it's done all the time in the Real World. Heck, in the Real World, I can even sell something I don't yet own in the hopes of being able to pick it up cheaper in a few days. What do you think they DO all day at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange?
