As I understand it, the first 30 slots were picked from the first page, the rest were/will be picked at random.

Unfortunately was only the first 12, I missed out by 4 min. and 37 seconds, the rest are completely random.

I stand corrected. Thanks.

If you bothered to read the thread you would know what is going on.

This link is my current auctions bidding on; not sure what your issue is, but as I explained to Tamer, I bid only on Leaf cards to drive the value up, so I can sell mine at a decent price. Sales of Trevor May Leaf cards are understandably not going exceptionally well right now, and I accidentally won two of them (at just a few dollars each) and paid accordingly. I even admitted that to Brian.

I have NO problem with owning Razor metal cards. The company doesn't exist.

As for my usual tone, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. I barely post.

Classless and clear cheating.

Where are your ethics? You are so quick to call others out.

Its actually fine since i dont bid on his and i'm generally the one driving them up...

I disagree with you. While I don't want to win the card, I will buy it if I win. It's done in the "real world" all the time. I'm sure you've heard of the stock exchange?

Just because it's not illegal doesn't mean it's ethical.

I don't see anything unethical about bidding on a baseball card and paying for it timely after it's won.

 

[A_Pharis]

Would you say any different if it were a seller's friend driving prices up for him? Shilling is shilling. It's not illegal, but come on...

I guess I wasn't clear, I was actually referring to the part about stocks. I don't think that brokerage firms artificially inflating prices with the intent to dump a stock is ethical - hurts other investors. As for cards, similar concept, but all is well as long as you pay since cards aren't considered an investment vehicle (though one can argue that).

Now I'm shilling the auction? Are you serious?

As long as the seller's friend pays, no matter what the result, then no.
Dictionary.com defines a shill as "a person who poses as a customer in order to decoy others into participating, as at a gambling house, auction, confidence game, etc." I'm not posing, I AM a customer.

 

[A_Pharis]

Paying just because you won doesn't mean you were bidding with the intent to purchase. You admitted to bidding with the intention to artificially raise the prices on other cards as to give an image of better value for cards that you attempt to sell. A customer bids with the intent to purchase. You do not do this. You are not a "customer".

 

[matfanofold]

There is no rational way to avoid the fact that bidding up auctions all the while hoping you do not win, with the sole reason to artificially inflate a cards value, is a slimy scumbag thing to do. Ironicly, these are 2 words commonly used to describe a person of your profession. (slimy, scumbag). So did anyone here really expect for Jeff to understand the unethical nature of his actions? A legal means to and end, right Jeff?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

If I'm a "scumbag" for bidding on auctions and paying for them, then so be it. You think it XXXXing matters what the XXXX your intent in bidding is? It doesn't XXXXing matter. Should people be banned from eBay because they found out a player is going to be busted for steroids, or because they found out he was injured at a game and they're unloading quickly? Or because a player just died and they're selling autos (which, personally, I find morbid and of low taste, but it's done commonly).

Your a scumbag for bidding on auctions you do NOT want to pay for, to inflate the prices out of selfish motives. The fact you pay for the ones you accidentally win means nothing.

Name calling? REally?

If I didn't want to pay for the auction, I wouldn't bid on it. Plain and motherXXXXing simple.

You would be absolutely hammering leaf if they were found to be doing this.

Jeff being a hypocrite?!?!? Psssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
