If you'd read the description, that is for PRIORITY MAIL shipping WITH INSURANCE and DELIVERY CONFIRMATION - He is actually LOSING money at this price.

You may be running into a buyer who wants to control the auction, but JP is one of the last people in this hobby that I would ever suspect or accuse of shill bidding his auctions.

i can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that JP has not nor does not shill his auctions. i'm actually in awe that it would even be brought up at all to be honest.

OK. I saw the shipping just 1st class $5.00.

Edit. JP if you read this you really should have Priority shipping as your Ebay shipping option. I just saw the 5.00 and was like wow. That could be a turn off if somebody does not read the auction.

As Sean and Mike have eluded to, there is NO WAY IN HELL that JP ever shills an auction. Complete and utter nonsense!

no shilling by JP but I do hate how people can retract because they "bid wrong amount"

if so, why don't they rebid the right amount?


ive always wondered this. It should force you to put in a new amount.

JP may be a lot of things, but a shiller he is not. Honest guy. A little bit too much into baseball cards, but honest as the day is long. Anyone who thinks, even for a nanosecond, that JP shilled his auction(s) should have their head examined.

How can a thread that is about trying to contact a member, turn into a shilling accusation?

The fact that this is two pages already is ridiculous. JP is not a shill bidder, nor is he shady in any way. He's as honest as they come in this hobby.

If this continues, I'll lock this thread. No need for all of this now that Excel_B can contact him with what he needs.

Thanks for the replies guys. I haven't had enough experience on these boards to know history with people. It just looked a little fishy.

Based on all of your feedback, I feel much better. Thanks.
