Reply To: Siyum Hashas on eBay controversy….

I didn’t mean an intentional joke.

I hear, you meant a lack of credibility that a fake bid might help overcome.

Listen, I do agree with your comment earlier about fake bids being not ehrlich – and I personally believe it’s also ossur al pi Choshen Mishpot because of hilchos ono’oh – but because the seller is an unknown commodity and we are discussing all sorts of possibilities from his being a practical joker to a faker, I believe that it’s also important to discuss the business angle. On that my personal take as you know is that oiber chochmos are not kedai. Who knows how the seller sees it?
