Wow does seem fishy!

I came across this one recently. Both screenshots are for the same auction, just from different days.

In April, he sold the same card (with a different serial number) to the same buyer for $242 without shill bidding. This one sold for $132 with the shill bidding. The buyer should have gotten it for $95.

That's pretty sketchy.

sounds sketchy to me. Wonder what ebay would do if you reported it?

don

Probably nothing, they need all the revenue they can gather ... even if it is fraudulently obtained.

i did a little more pokin around and found that perhaps he is only bidding on COMC auctions. that could be 1 explanation
but some of the other data was a little peculiar

[canucksfan007]

I personally bid more often on COMC auctions seeing as I dont have to pay real money if I win

[30ranfordfan]

Could be sketchy. If COMC is the seller, it's not COMC bidding up their auctions (i.e. the actual seller here, is not the problem).

However - it's quite likely that a COMC user has submitted their cards for auction, and bids them up.
