I recently bid on an Ohtani RC just to see if I could raise the price a bit. I own an exact copy, and it’s fun seeing the value go up on the one I own (it’s worth several thousand). However, much to my chagrin, I ended up the high bidder! Now I own two expensive Ohtani RCs!

I wonder how many shill bidders / self bidders end up paying for the item they never intended to buy? Also, they may try to get out of paying by making up some excuse!

EDIT: I guess I got what I deserved! LoL
