Umm, You may want to see the Harper I stole. Need advice!

Next time someone asks someone else to sell a card for them, just block them until the auction is over...

How many people bid on a card KNOWING they won't win it? What is that considered??

Price protecting? Definitely different than what took place here. Sometimes I'll bid on cards of guys that I have with the expectation that I won't win, but that I won't let it go below a certain point. Let's say I have an Albert Pujols chrome auto and one comes up for auction. I might bid $2k on it not expecting to win, but would be happy if I did.

I've done this as well. i dont think its a bad thing. lets say you want to win a card for $200, and it's listed as a straight auction. i will bid $75, just to show the seller that there is interest and perhaps sway them from potentially ending the listing early

But that means you are interested in winning the card. I was saying bidding with no intention of wanting the card just to bid up prices for some auctions...

Eh, I guess what we're saying here is I don't have any interest in winning the card unless it sells for a ridiculously low price. Sometimes this goes to a lesser extent for cards that people already own. Say I own 1000 Jesus Montero chrome autos. I might bid $50 on each one when the going rate is $60. I have no intention or desire to win, but I don't want them to start selling for less than $50. That's what I mean by price protecting.

I don't think that is the right one. I remember reading that he took it down or something and re-posted it. I think it really sold for 2,100. But that is the original one.

Update on the card, guy paid, Andy agreed with me to refund him some money,
and I still gave Andy a fair cut. I think he is an Ok guy, made a mistake, got caught,
didn't think of the consequences. He obviously doesn't want everyone here hating him,
so I believe he is truly sorry for what he did and I am sure he wont play that game again.
I would help him out again in a heartbeat, but next time my one caveat is that he keep his
mouth shut, like i would ask anyone who I do a personal deal with. Hasn't been any flak from
ebay towards me, hope it stays that way. Kid learned his lesson, time to forgive and move on.

Glad this reached a satisfactory conclusion for all parties.

If you are happy, then everyone should be.

Time for this to come to an end.
