Perhaps. We used to attend auctions and noticed that some of the shoppers would switch items out of one box into another so that they got what they wanted (kind of unethical cherry-picking). I found this out by bidding on a box I had eyed, and when I purchased it, some of what I wanted was missing. Not all auction shoppers are honest. Maybe the auctioneer is trying to keep the box lots intact.
