(rare) One who shills: Synonym of shill..
Perhaps you have met a shiller. If you haven't, read this definition of him gleaned from the columns of the San Francisco Bulletin: […] Down in the basement they demonstrate the auto-camping outfit, installed on a trailer. You press a button and the thing blossoms out into a tent, two beds with mattresses, a cook stove and cooking utensils, a sideboard and a bottle of Cliquot. A husky-voiced chap with a red brush on his chin shuffled up to the demonstrater. "Do you want a shiller for this outfit?" he asked. "I don't get you," said the demonstrator. "A shiller — a come-on — a capper — you know. I want to show the people how them beds work. […] Just let me demonstrate one of them beds. It won't cost you a cent. When you get the crowd, I come up and say, 'How much is this out?' and you tell me, and then I say, 'I'll take it,' and I crawl into the hay." The demonstrator didn't seem to appreciate the generous offer.
