Can't the sellers just do 2nd chance offers instead of relisting?

I just let the offer stay open to hold the funds out of his account because he never counters for more than his initial offer. It definitely sounds like he is trying to set the market.

If this guy were trying to set the market he'd probably use multiple IDs to bid up the action. Looking at the account given in this thread, he's obviously not doing that. I recognize some of his (legitimate) opposition being the second highest bidder, I agree with Boomo in that he's just in his own little world, his actions likely depressing the market if anything.

If he's also sending offers on COMC I'd think he's mainly looking for steals. Snipe every single auction that comes up and pay for the ones that he gets a steal on, forget the rest.
Of course it's still insane.

that's what i don't get. if he's looking for steals...why not just snipe every card with what he's willing to pay to make it a steal? why snipe outrageous prices for each one and only pay for the one he chooses....

Probably because he gets to negotiate the terms of said trade/purchase. As somebody said before, he pays when it's a price he likes. On the trade forums, if he doesn't like the price, he doesn't agree to a deal. On the auction site, he doesn't have that luxury, and so just goes balls to the wall and backs out when he overbids.ffgameman said:Funny thing: On the Bench, he has 206 completed trades with a 5.0 (out of 5) trader rating.
