Please help me understand your point--when I look at the bidding history it appears that the sucesssful bidder --derfknew--when the bidding was at $15.00 placed a bid of at least $103.49 on October 31--I assume it was a maximum bid --on November 3 q commodities entered two bids one of $88.88 and the other of 100.99 making him the second place finisher---my question who was the shill bidder?--was it the winning bidder ?was it greencrow who placed the whole series of small bids or q commodities-the second place finisher---? I frequently place a maximum bid in an amount that I would be willing to pay for a card ---sometimes a lot more than it might be "worth" but because I want it enough and I don't really care if someone bids less than me ( I would prefer that it not happen but expect that it might) in any event if I win the card I am pleased. So please help me understand who was the bad guy in this auction? Why did the buyer bid at least $103.49 on October 31 when the bidding was low if he did think he might have the price driven that high ? I just want to learn all the nuances of the ebay system to be a better informed bidder in the future. Thank you
