The distinction here is that the warehouse manager is not selling her own stuff. Her job is to manage the auctions and presumably get the highest fees possible (for the warehouse) by allowing an open market to bid on the merchandise.

If her company knew she was doing this I’m sure they’d oppose it and likely fire her.

Apologies for a delayed reply, but I concur, you made a very valid point for why my analogy wasn’t the best in that scenario.

It would only work if the person running the warehouse was an owner. But if they were an employee, like you suggested, then my take would be very obviously flawed.
