It is good to see Brent is posting here. Since he is, I certainly hope he will address concerns previously expressed here and elsewhere (1) that his scans are not realistic depictions of the cards being offered but appear overly bright and (2) that high dollar items in his auctions sometimes appear to have bidders with astounding numbers of retractions to their name and/or very high percentages of bidding activity with him, suggesting (at least to me) the possibllity that they are bidding up their own items and retracting once they find out what the high bidder's max was.

I'll put this to the top so it'll make it easier for Brent to click on it when he's looking at the thread he started.

I wear welder's goggles when I bid on his auctions.

You missed a Brown Old Mill back that ended up selling for $51.

Oh wait, it wasn't you who missed it.

I have used Brent and his services on several auctions. He has always been straight forward and honest. To accuse him of misdeeds without any hard evidence is sorry. Just my 2 cents.....

I don't think its unfair in the least to ask for an explanation why there are substantially more people who bid and then retract their bids than in practically any other auction with the possible exception of one. What is unfair is the prolonged silence that is met when that question is asked. IMO, the lack of a response is very problematic.

Peter, certainly pays attention a lot better than most of us do!

The issue with the Dimaggio had nothing to do with that comment. The bidder on the board with all the retractions was not also bidding on his own card.

Interesting? And here I thought, what was written last year, about shill bidding, string bidding, and how E-Bay was working with them, was fairly new or recent.

I had no idea practically the same words were used back in 2013 as well.
