they have limited time and the MOSTLY buy from me or PWCC cause they know they can win items without reserves....gee, where was all that shilling on the 1914 CJS ? meanwhile there is another thread somewhere with accusations that shilling happened on 1914 CJS meanwhile several of them went of low...can't be both ways

Rick just because the item is shilled doesn't mean it will go for a lot of $. If the shiller bids over max and retracts to remain below the max and bumps it up to there over the period of a week or so combined with a lack of interest or cold spell in the market could give you a low price. They won't over bid and win their items.
