Rich..two things jump out at me as I read your post.

1. shill bidding
2. manipulating the market



Why not list it as most members here do, such as Colin and Charley, and simply list a buy it now price? That gives any potential bidders an idea of what it will take to buy the car. If no one takes atvantage of that option, then I would imagine any offers and/or the high bid may be considered.
