Yet another ridiculously obvious shilled Cobb
This is a T3 which ended on ebay last night -- not a legit bid after $2500: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-T3-Turk...vip=true&rt=nc
The card "ended" at $4699.99 -- and today it miraculously appears back on ebay with a BIN of -- you guessed it -- $4699.99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-T3-Turk...item3cd90ae679

Of course. This is one of the fallouts of shill bidding: the shilled price sets a false value for the card. This putz couldn't wait two days to put out his card with the false value he set a few hours before.

That sad thing is that it works extremely well, but in the wrong way with the unsuspecting (or in denial) other sellers, and it screws up the buyers. It's also now tougher to prove it to the unsuspecting seller with ebay not showing the bidder ID's, and no longer showing the high bidder that won. A few years ago at least during and when the auction ended, you saw who was bidding along with their feedback and it prevented a lot of this. I think ebay is going to kill itself very soon. I can't say I would feel all THAT bad though.

One man's safety is another man's shill.

This means all of the data the VCP and Cardtarget is sketchy... well, cardtarget is a little better because they don't give your a price for the value of your card, they just capture data. VCP on the other hand tells you what exactly your card is worth... |

Having said that, last night's sale price wouldn't skew things too much with pricing, as a nice T3 Cobb in a PSA 3 holder should get around $4K. Looks like he also had some convenient help from a friend in the Goudey Ruth auction... http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=261335779687 Last edited by CW; 11-25-2013 at 05:41 PM. |
