It is unlawful for any person to sell, or attempt to sell, by auction, or to advertise
for sale by auction, any goods, wares or merchandise falsely representing or pretending
the same to be, in whole or in part, a bankrupt or insolvent stock, or damaged goods,
or goods saved from a fire, or to make any false statement as to the previous history,
ownership, quality or character of such goods, wares and merchandise, or for any person
to offer for sale at auction any article and induce its purchase by any bidder and
afterwards to substitute any article in lieu of that offered to and purchased by the
bidder, except with the bidder's knowledge and consent.
It is unlawful for any person to falsely act as bidder in the capacity of what is
commonly known as a "capper," "booster" or "shiller" merely for the purpose of increasing
the amount of the bids at any auction sale or place for conducting public auctions,
or to offer or make any false bid, or pretend to buy any article sold or offered for
sale at any public auction.
