MANY threads on shill bidding on the main page. Maybe not so much that they shill, but they don't seem to stop their consignors from doing it. I've stopped even looking at their stuff.

Make sure to ask a question or 2 about the item. Allegedly that greatly increases the chances of shill bidding in Probstein123 auctions.

I have sent a lot of my duplicates to Probstein to save time. Many items I am disappointed with the sale price. Many go for about the right price and occasionally I am very pleased with a higher than expected price (Though not often). I have never done any shill bidding though I suppose nothing would stop me (except my ethics). I'd be stuck paying fees if I won. I've been happy but I wouldn't put it passed unscrupulous folks from doing shill bidding on any auction item. Could do it with any company that takes consignments on ebay. And even in regular auction houses can have friends bid etc. Not sure how much this practice has done to inflate prices.
I hate more those that bid against collectors when there is a decent deal out there and then immediately try to flip items at 2-3x the price putting them out of our hands |

Recently I've read many posts about submissions to Probstein which have gone missing and for which he has zero accountbility.

If I list an item for sale with Probstein and then ask three of my friends to run up the price, how is Probstein supposed to identify that, much less stop it?

Seems like you can pull the same crap through any auction house. However, there were numerous threads where obvious shill bidding was pointed out to Probstein, and he did nothing. If that's the kind of dealer you'd prefer to work with, then that tells me a lot about you.
