Default Wow ! the cost of finding out values, Is It Wasted $$
Posted By: JimB

Of course there is shill bidding. How pervasive it is, is mere conjecture. Due to shilling there are some false numbers on VCP. If you have a sense of the sellers, you get to know which ones are trustworthy. Just yesterday I was going through some recent sales on T206 HOFs. There was one seller reporting #s at about 30-40% higher than anybody else on virtually every card he sold. I just disregarded all of his sales and made a note not to bid in his auctions.

VCP can help combat falling prey to shillers in this way as well. One has to learn how to use the information intelligently.
