I'm not 100% sure how you can cheat to be honest, as you have to register with your bank and contact details before you even begin to place a bid. Also you have to notify the Crew member ( SJ if I remember correctly) if you are placing an absent bid. So I'm curious how you can possibly cheat? I outbid to win the signed Stormtrooper Helmet by 50p at the last auction and the previous bidder before me was an absentee bidder.
