There are few things on ebay which I enjoy and don't feel cheated.
1. Figuring out what a competitor bids and beating their bid by 1 cent by placing a bid exactly 1 cent over theirs (versus putting in a over a bidding slot higher and forced to pay more than you had too)
2. Seeing an late bidder try to swoop in and win the auction but they bid the EXACT amount as you so you win the item. Thus you win the item and have the knowledge that someone else was willing to pay the same amount. That's a good feeling.
3. Bidding a week early an amount you think is really high, you end up winning the product and see 5 unique bidders within 10% of what you won the item for. Thus, I would not be too concerned with shilling.
4. Being in competitive bid process but right before putting in another higher than I want bid checking buy it nows and seeing the same card and grade with better appearance only a few dollars more and bidding at the auction just a little below and seeing the competitive bidder beat you out the auction by bidding higher then the other card you see at buy it now. Then later you buy the buy it now for less than the card just went for auction. That's fun.
