Ok for those of you that grew up under British currency this was ten cents.
But when Allen used it in his reference to the auction he is attending I had to look it up. Quiet interesting. I gathered from Allens post what he meant but was eager to know more about the practice. I just love all the old Yiddish expressions and this is one of them.
Take a look some might not be aware that there are several forms of shilling and engaging in them (which I believe some of our magazine tool reviewers do from time to time) is actually illegal.

It begs the question when is giving someone a testimonial legal and when is it illegal. Nice grey area here. Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
