Interesting Ebay Bidding

[dariushou]

First, I would like to say hi to everyone. Been kind of hiding in the shadows and rarely post (wish this was not my first).

Anyhow, does someone know why the winner of this baseball card a few months ago is bidding up the exact same card he/she won in May? By exact, i mean, EXACT--same PSA Cert.

Did this person win the card then decide to sell it and then buy it again in a 3 to 4 month period, lol? This is just one of over a dozen auctions that i checked and ALL of which demonstrated similar behavior by this bidder:

OLD AUCTION:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/351725481279?rmvSB=true
Ebay Auction Date: 5/15/16
Ebay Item: 351725481279
Amount: $221.00
Winner: 7***0
PSA Cert: 25471732


Current Auction:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Kellogg...-/401182616829

Look who is bidding it up. Just no shame...actually winning a lot of the ones i checked.

Maybe i'm completely wrong, but this looks incredibly odd to me.

Remember, EBay and Brent have teamed up and instituted top secret " powerful tools" to stop illegal bidding practices in his auctions. So no worries, all is fine.

The powerful tools = emailing Brent .... (who does take action, btw)

LOL.

Maybe the guy is just trying to save the buyer's remorse for spending 225 bucks for a Kellogg's Rick Monday because it's in a plastic slab.

When the crash comes, it's these incredibly overvalued "high grade" commons that are getting pushed off the life boat first. I just don't get that people don't understand the reason they are "low pop" is that only a couple people want to actually pay to grade a Joe Shlabotnik, it doesn't mean there isn't a million of them.
