Frequently when such a thing occurs on discussions about companies, these members turn out to be shills for the company.

If someone comes on my podcast, and wastes time by trying to shill out products, not only will I NOT post their podcast, they won't get an invite back.  

You can offer them ( or you can get a shill buyer for this , meaning someone else acts on your behalf ) say 5k if they leave the property as you had a change of heart and want to rent it instead. 

Additionally, I can tell you for a fact that many auctioneers employ shills when there is no reserve price, who bid the minimum price and never close, so that the true auction winner can not purchase a property if their bid is below some targeted minimum.

The first thing everyone (who doesn't know what they're talking about) will tell you is to set up a shill business that doesn't do much, but generates a good bit of business expenses for the first year or two.

@Dikeem S Hill You do not need any licensing.

Not when the alternative, STRs, could be easily shilled to the public as unregulated private profit-taking by a widely hated class of convenient villains, already wealthy landlords looking to maximize their parasitic profits.

., then run the numbers conservatively to establish your max price before bidding, don't forget their 5% commission is added to the winning amount.I can confirm that Auction.com does have a hidden reserve price with the beneficiary, they will shill bid against you to get the price up to where they want.

I saw your one other post that sounded like you're a virtual assistant shilling for a guru program, before the topic was locked.

One day, a real rain will come down and wash greedy shills like this from society.
