I accidentally bid on the card. I see a card that I think is an absolute steal, and I bid on it. I am a VCP member and I see what the current average is on the card. The winning bidder got it for darn near $150 under the average selling price. It was an accident. I would have LOVED to have that card for $600. At $710 the winning bidder absolute stole the card.


If I am a shill bidder, I am one of the worst ones in history, because I lost almost $400 on the card. I had a $800 offer for the card that I had turned down. I saw the card at $500. I accidentally bid on it, thinking of the $800 offer. To call me a shill bidder is ludicrous. How many people in here have lost $400 on a card in just one months time? Not many, I care to wager.....
I have lost more than that a number of times and never shill bid. And I didn't have the cards very long either. I am probably one of the exceptions but I am sure there are a number of other board members in the same position. If you made a mistake, so be it, but from the sound of your tone it doesn't really sound like it. Just my observation. Like I say, if it was a mistake, say so and admit it, don't do it again, and move on.
