I obviously still will participate in auctions run by Probstein123. However, I am also keenly aware that he has a problem policing consignor shilling. So, I always take a close look at the prior market. Before I even bid I recognized that he was selling the same card that sold several weeks ago again, so I kept my ceiling bid low and it just happened to hit. And then after I purchased it, I noticed that the same guy who won it weeks ago also bid in this one. So, it was pretty obvious to me what was going on. And given the concerns that a number of people on Net54 have with this seller, I thought it prudent to share. Because I think that educating us about the practices of certain sellers is a great function of Net54. How we each react to the information is a personal decision.
