Like, are there other examples of like voice-verified

Like this sort of like you run an auction, but you introduce your own bidder. voice-verified

And like you know, does it like sort of resemble spoofing in financial markets? voice-verified

Maybe. voice-verified

I don't know. voice-verified

But a reader sent me that apparently the term in like art auctions is a chandelier bidder. voice-verified

So if you're selling a painting at a fantasy auction house, you have some reserve price where you're like, you won't sell it for less than 30 million dollars. voice-verified

And I guess that's not always publicly disclosed. voice-verified

And so what happens is that voice-verified

The auctioneer voice-verified

will be like, Do I hear ten million? voice-verified

Ten million? voice-verified

Do I hear twenty million? voice-verified

Twenty million? voice-verified

Do I hear thirty million? voice-verified

Thirty million and they'll just like be pointing into space. voice-verified

And like it's called the chandelier bed because it's like they're often just looking up into the into the ceiling. voice-verified

Like my understanding of art auctions from pop culture is that like the auctioneer is looking around the room and like there is a prestige to making the subtlest possible movement to indicate that you want to bid. voice-verified

So you don't like raise a paddle and wave it in the air. voice-verified

You just sort of like raise one eyebrow very slightly and the auctioneer is like, Yes, you over there, forty million. voice-verified
