Shill bidding?? I suspect so....

Check out this auction....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110117737411&ssPageName=ADME:L:DBS:US:11

I lost out on this card awhile ago to a gal who was doing the whole Limited Logos set. She got the card for around $200 (card books at $100, but does have primo patch). Now she is selling it. I made offer, but she never replied. Now this card is over $300 and hasn't hit her reserve yet!!! WOW!

After checking the bidders, I did a check and noticed that the high bidder Bidder 7 has a feedback under 10, and their 30 Day Summary reads as such:

Total bids: 19
Items Bid on: 7
Bid Activity (%) with this Seller: 100%

And they bid on this card 3 times raising the price.

Seems to me like a bit of shill bidding going on there, don't ya think???

I'm steering clear of this one, as I'm sure other Gaborik Mafia members will, too.

I was just going to chime in on this!

L is right, this person is a hack, they are doing some unscrupulous dealings on and off EBay. Watch out for them!

Well, I mentioned to the Seller that Bidder 7 appeared to be a shill bidder (all bids on their auctions). Seller then cancelled the Bids for Bidder 7 super fast. Plus their bid was a very high $450 and hadn't hit the reserve.

Hmmmmmmm

I know I'm late on this one, but look at the bid history! LOL. Bidder 1, Bidder 2, etc. If your going to try and do something like this shouldn't you atleast be a little more sly about. Don't get me wrong, NOT condoning this at all. Really hope ebay does something about this.
