I really wanted this card and put in a high snipe to ensure a win...looks like the seller is a notorious shiller....anything i can do?

What makes you say he shills? I've never heard complaints about him.

Enjoy it!

Iv'e heard he's a packsearcher, not sure about shilling. What's wrong with the auction? Not following. It's numbered to 2.

I think he does consignment sales, and that's why he always has nice cards. I don't know about pack searching.

i have heard he shills as well.

The card is nice...the shot from Jeter going into the stands and being #2/2...i thought i could get it for $275-$300...oh well...i still like it

Sounds like a reliable source. I can't say yes or no on it, but I've never heard anything about it. I wouldn't be surprised. I won a card from him for 70 a few weeks ago and then won the same card from another seller recently for 30.

why do you think it was shilled. second highest bidder seems fine which means you would have been that high.

smapdi · Jan 22, 2009

You should've put in a lower snipe if you wanted to lose. I've never heard anything about this seller, and don't see anything weird in the bidders except 2 have hidden feedback. But no, short of not paying or working out a deal directly with the seller there's nothing you can do.

I must be missing it, but nothing in the bidding looks fishy. Were did it possibly occur?

the guy that bid $270....looks like it wouldn't have made a difference.

any who...nice card?

mredsox89 · Jan 22, 2009

3 bidders had bids over 280 and no one bid multiple times after that price so idk where u got the idea of shilling

Tomlinson21RB · Jan 22, 2009

The only one that looks shady is 8***i( 1207) with 80% of activity with wolverine24's auctions. However, his mid was only 270 and it went well beyond that.

coltsfan23 · Jan 22, 2009

Wolverine snipes his auctions? Really? I've bought from him a couple times and I've always gotten good deals. I highly doubt he shills. Whether it was someone else who has a personal vendetta against you.. I dunno.

However, I don't know why you are complaining. You decided that is how high you would go and you won it. It's not really anyone's fault as such.

:lol: That's what I was thinking... don't bid what you don't want to pay.
