But in principle - it is very simple. Nobody did not hide the fact that the auction come largely pre-prepared buyers. Including - and "someone" trained. Especially when it comes to $ 100 million is several billion rubles. among other things.

If there is a challenge to raise prices on some product category (eg, artists Zanzibar) - enough for most to buy yourself a million two or three more or less literate work, but so that the price "whiten" through the auction. With a starting price of the 5 th is shocking. And - the shaft is inevitable.

I do not know, like art dealers, and securities market - this is normal. At least, it does not require the purchase of advertising time world channels for the same $ 100 million

On the stock market make it much easier because
  a) the absolute uniformity of product,
b) it disproportionately liquidity,
c) sufficient funding from the surface of market agents and
d) commission insignificance compared with practiced in the art market.

Actually, this is the function of market-makers - to raise or lower the rate, to build corridors, in general, deftly directed handicraftsman alone - a Stock Operator, to the bitter end

Is done and at auctions, but such naive attempts to enrich not often give positive results.

In my opinion, much easier - and cheaper - to do this on direct sales.
