Problem with this, which whoever is doing the reporting apparently isn't aware of, is that yes, for a short time it will remove competition so his or her items are assured of a sale, even though they may be of lesser quality - but with the raised awareness around these props, with the reports, will eventually come bite that someone right in the ass and have his or her auctions shut down as well. The sad thing though is that that person wold probably not care, but just move on to other stuff, regardless of what he or she just destroyed for everyone.
Total shame...
