z**z (163) bid activity with this seller 53%
o**r (985) bid activity with this seller 97%!
a**k (1287) bid activity with this seller 40%

Normal activity is somewhat 1-5%? Thoughts..

Tough call. There's some guys out there that do a lot of business, and you can clearly see that the seller does a ton of business. That said, all the bids ending in .99 are a red flag as far as I'm concerned. If I want to outbid somebody, I don't think they're going to be bidding xx.98, I assume that they put in a regular xx.00 amount. Bidding .99 won't help me win, just pushes their bid to its maximum.

I've seen threads on other sites calling out this same seller more than once for shilling

I've bought from this fella before, but the last time I tried I got outbid on everything. Didn't do any follow-up tho........so I've really got nothing to contribute here. Meh, goin to bed, have a swell evening y'all.....xoxox

Its hard to believe someone with that much feedback would have time to get his items shilled. And keep track of what was shilled and what wasn't etc. It does look suspicious, and the .99 bids are odd.

It really does, I mean check out those stats!

97% bid activity guy who have 985 feedbacks! just read another forum and this seller is suspected to shill five years ago. What else this could be as shilling?

I have to agree with the above post. its hard to say for sure, but it does seem questionable. I will make note of the seller's name (I have bought from him before) and use caution when bidding on future auctions with him. Thanks for posting this information for us.

Total Shill.

He's in a Hawk's uniform. Dougie Collectors only want him as a Leaf. That card normally goes for $6-10 Bucks.
