I haven't won a card in almost 2 weeks on Ebay. there is a lot of shill bidding going on in my opinion ...on legitimate cards and on reprints. I couldn't even bid on fake Old Judge cards without having the seller or one of his friends or relatives shill bid them the other day. I have stopped reporting all the shilling I find since nothing is usually done about it. All the trusted sellers on my list haven't had anything that has interested me lately for auction. Lots of BIN, but their prices are too high.
I think high buy it now listings makes for more competition amongst the real auctions on ebay now. that along with the strange feedback rules they use now. I actually had my feedback go down after getting positive feedback from a buyer once....go figure. I actually picked up 2 T3's at a local card show this month ( see pics in march pickup) for alot less than I would have paid on Ebay, and I didn't have to worry about the guy behind the table shill bidding me with one of his 10 ebay accounts or his sisters account either. It's too bad there are not a lot of vintage dealers in my area. I think I would start going to shows more like I used to back in the late 80's and early 90's.
