I understand your statement completely. But to say people would rather spend big money with PWCC cause they’re “well known” and not some other party is as ridiculous as I’ll get out.

It’s tough to argue against conspiracy theories, but yes, it’s far more plausible that it’s a consignor doing that, not someone at PWCC. Just consider the math. If there’s a card selling for $50k, and a consignor successfully shills it to $55k, then the consignor’s incremental take is 90% of the $5k, or, $4500. PWCC might net 5% of that amount after their fees, or an incremental $250. The upside of PWCC perpetrating the shilling just isn’t there, unlike Mastro, whose take was probably 20-30% of the final value.

Guys, I appreciate you letting me vent. I have decided to not sell high dollar cards on my own anymore (Anything over, say $300)....It is obvious that PWCC has the monopoly on Ebay baseball card auctions. They get the eyeballs. They get the bids. This will just be SINGLE cards, as I can't justify paying the high percentage commission they charge on sets (20% I believe). Correct me if I am wrong, but it also looks like their rates have gone up. If you can't beat them, join them.

IF someone said I shill bid my own auction they very well might get sued (and I have never sued anyone in my life). But if someone makes a statement like you did, I might make them prove it in court or pay a hefty fine and lawyer fees. And my guess is that if Brent wanted to he could sue your butt for what you said. I am no lawyer but that is my thought. That said, I totally agree that there seem to be some shenanigans with the amount of retractions done and the winning bids, sometimes. I think Brent and team are doing better than most to help curb it but there is a lot to still be done. Some of it needs to be on the ebay side.

Brent has already been caught engaging in fraud in his auctions and I don't believe there's any question that shill bidding goes on in his auctions. Brent, I'm looking forward to your lawsuit and I'll be taking yours and Betsy's depositions myself if you wish to sue.
