Uncle Sam is right on the deal. If you have some buy it for you you still pay BJ 20%. You'd have to have a pretty high dollar deal to make that make any economic sense.
And, they have caught people doing it in the past and you will be banned from the island if you get caught.
To me all of that is heresay. "A friend of a friend who knows someone who knows someone that said they used a shill". Bring someone here who says they did it. I don't think it's likely. That would be unlike eBay where I've seen several people admit they placed bids to jack the price (but item still didn't meet reserve) and stated if the seller lowered the reserve they wouldn't complete the deal. That's slimey.
