Shilled Jabbar Eminence?

KivasFajo · 07-27-2016, 09:17 PM

Hmmm...

Kareem Abdul Jabbar 2014 15 Panini Eminence Auto 1 Ounce Fine Silver SP 10 10 | eBay

Private bidder "7***i" has helped climb this card. Not too odd, until you look at that users history and realize that 214 of the users 610 bids have been on the sellers auctions. 35%! Now a guy with Zero feedback jumps in...

sucks when that happens, especially when its a card you REALLY WANT

mindcycle · 07-27-2016, 09:24 PM

I actually only see one bid from the user you mention unless he's retracted others. So maybe not a shill.

There's several.. Just scan the list for "private" in place of numbers where there should be feedback

Thing is, I was willing to do $175 on it.. But when I saw the possible shilling, I decided my money would be better spent on some NT autos

Seriously.....who still has, and who still allows private feedback bidders?

EXACTLY, even when you were willing to spend enough to buy the card, its not worth it cuz you SHOULD HAVE gotten it for a lot cheaper

This is one reason why you see people with zero feedback bid. To drive DOWN the final value. It's a reverse shill. Do it early. Don't bid up to what it will go for. Scare off buyers. It's a technique we are seeing more and more. And it works.

This card sold in the low range of expected ending auction value. I would have said $140-$210.
