Default Live Auction: Standard Biscuit Cobb - Shill Bidding?

Posted By: Al Simeone

Matt,
Lets hope maybe Sgt.Hoss comes on and posts what he thinks about all of this. He may thankyou it the fact that lets say his bid was 3000. you just saved him a ton of money! Now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak of who the under bidder was in my opinion I really dont think by outing this auction it had anything to do with the final price of the card. Barry pointed out a major point this man is a knowledgeable buyer ,knew what he wanted ,and put a bid in I believe before you made this posting. Therefore he knew what he wanted to pay for the item looked it over and was convinced it wasnot a FORGERY<OR ALTERED and put in his bid. For what ever reason maybe he doesnt have a sniper program,couldnt be by a computer at that time,what ever he placed a bid that was obviously higher than what the card was won for and I dont believe that shilling was a factor in his decision. That is why I stated Im for outing an auction based on the 2 principles not the other.
