Think I got Shilled, but it was for the PC.....

Pretty sure I got shilled on this beaut, 0 feedback-new member-bid several times, oh well had to have it so guess thats the price of admission sometimes.

Yea saw that too, but what do u do, 1/1 for PC, dont have alot of options, just bit the bullet and enjoy the card , luckly it was insane high.

37% of his bids, but to 6 different sellers. It could go either way..In any case, nice card!

That is why you snipe. Cuts down on shilling.

Exactly!Nice pickup but I think you should have waited before letting him bid you up.Either manual snipe or just plain snipe next time.Don't ever let them see you coming.

I don't think you were shilled:

Your first bid wasn't outbid by the 0 feedback buyer, until you had been outbid by someone else. Then the 0 feedback buyer outbid the other person, then you outbid them. They bid even dollar amounts. I think that the person just wanted the card and didn't bid enough on it.

Even if the 0 feedback buyer wasn't there, you still would have had to pay 81.02 for it based on the other bidder.

A well set snipe would have not allowed the bidder with 0 feedback or the other bidder the chance to bid it up that high.They would not have known there was a third party wanting the card and there would have been a good chance of nailing down the card for a lot cheaper.Either way...if its for the PC you can't really overspend.The only thing you can ever do is save yourself money.
