Interesting Ebay Bidding

[jmb]

I thought that this one looked pretty suspicious to me:

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...p2047675.l2565

So, I decided to list mine as an experiment:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272369576810...84.m1555.l2648

I find it amazing how r***b bid all the way up to $5105 for this card, but yet, he hasn't contacted me on mine which would save him considerable $$$ since a PSA5 with great centering is really a $3500-$4000 card on a good day. Both cards are centered the same except mine doesn't have a "rough" cut along the top border.

Problem is you don't have the loyal bidders PWCC does. Hell they even make threads on the main page about how they ship in a timely manner.

you make a good point. and you have a "make-offer" on your listing. Where are those underbidders?

I don't have a dog in this fight because I don't bid 2x over VCP on cards that appear on the market regularly every two months. But the person that does do this (3***x), either has a shitload of money and doesn't care, or deserves to be shilled by (r***b).
