I do not for one moment believe this 1948 Leaf La Motta was a legitimate sale

What transpired with the Andre is that I was outbid at $4,000 with less than 10 minutes to go. The under bidder had placed a bid for $4,500 to do so. Then placed another bid with less than 30 seconds to go of $5,000. The winner came in with the snipe and the under bidder made one more final attempt with seconds to go of the $5,200. He doesn't use a sniping service and places manual bids.

You will see a similar situation here with the Kerry Von Erich I recently won. I stewed on it for ten days and determined I was going to go with $2,500 as my max. I put it in with like 30 seconds to go and Ray put his bid in at the exact same time. The card jumped to $2,550 and I was like WTF. I threw another bid in at $3,000 and we were tied. With five seconds to go I put in another bid for the win.


One of the issues with many EBAY auctions is the most serious bidders many times throw in snipes and you aren't the only person that is thinking they must go all out to win the card and boom it launches with seconds to go.
