Sgt Hoss was willing to pay at least $1691, he got his card, and I bet he is happy to have won it. |

Sgt. Hoss is a forum member that occassionally posts on the Net 54. I think this thread costed him some money. |

it's nice to see that "i****l" is human and loses a card (or case) once in a while |

After the auction was posted, I thought the bidding may have gone higher. I was going to put in a bid around the $1500-1600 area, but thought I would get blown out of the water so I just went back to work instead. So, even if someone else hadn't bid I would have bid around the same amount. In this instance it doesn't appear that it cost Scot much more than if it hadn't been posted. |

Rhett - you're correct; I and others will be more reluctant in the future, the question that we're discussing in the poll thread, is that a good thing? |

I personally think that the fears of outing an auction are overstated except for cards that are listed in the wrong category or misspelled, etc. People here just dont miss much if the card is in the correct category. |

I've said it here numerous times, but I'll say it again anyway....It is impossible to out an ebay auction that is listed in the correct category. Is there anyone here who somehow missed this auction while perusing the pre-1930 category? or while doing regular searches for "Ty Cobb"? |

matt i hope you're joking as what sick people would berate you for outing an auction--in the correct category, with the proper classification, with the correct name of arguably the most famous athlete in his sport? from the bidder history most aren't even in the same country as jeff's and the winning bid. |

While I also found at least 1 of the emails totally unacceptable, I'm not going to pass along names; the people obviously felt strongly about what I did and expressed that to me (OK, so they used all caps and tried to make me feel small). I am much more bothered by dishonest business practices then I am by people who chose to express themselves inappropriately. |

Jeff - you and Rheet have both now said you have no problem with me outing the listing, yet looking back on the thread, you were the first ones to object to my posting it (albeit subtle objections). You now seem to agree that there was nothing to "out" as it was an obvious auction, I'm not sure what changed. |

Because in theory I agree with you 100%; it was the right thing to do and you had no ill-intent. In practice, I was concerned that your good deed might cost me some money. Based on my response, I hope it was clear that I begrudgingly recognized that you did the right thing. |

I still think "outing" is defined as revealing an auction that is hidden in the wrong category, and would likely be missed by most people. Can we all agree that a Ty Cobb card placed in the right category with "Ty Cobb" spelled correctly in the title will be seen by everybody who cares? |

Matt, while nothing really gets past most of these guys...it's conceivable that one or two items might get past one of these guys who may have seen this post. While not likely it could happen and I think that's why most people don't like to see any ebay auctions posted here until they are over. |

Matt, I'm not retracting anything...that's how some people feel...I do not. One guy ain't going to make a difference when hundreds already saw it. It's Ty Freaking Cobb. |

This idea of shill bidding should have been brought up after the auction had closed. I think the price would have went high either way. Scott, great card. |

Without taking sides on the outing issue, a sample size of 1 (this particular auction for the Cobb) proves nothing. |

Rob - I agree. Unfortunately, we don't have any other data. It does, however, disprove the notion that outing an auction will definitely affect the outcome. |
