PWCC Bid History

++this. I have no idea what my percentage is with PWCC, probably pretty high. Also have no idea what my ebay "score" is either. I bid what I can afford, if I win, then I pay; that simple. The whole percentage with certain buyers means nothing to me.

It's about retractions. Those guys can go to hell.

Not sure why anyone would bid on ebay before the last possible second.

Especially if the seller is a big name who won't end the auction early.

There is a reason for the seller's motto of "bid early and often!". It drives up the price.

Other people maybe just want to feel like they are in the game for a 52 Mantle realizing full well they won't get the card for $20,000. Can be a lot of innocuous reasons. Maybe they are just bored and bidding is something to do and they don't expect to win. Not all nefarious.

Gents this is an excellent discussion! I truly want to thank all of you for participating.

I just looked at 2 Dockman cards I needed from Probstein ending tonight, high bidder with rating of 52 bids 92% with probstein.... Once again I am not bidding.

I need the Shean and the Bridwell for my set.

I will sit these 2 out tonight.

And of course I could be way off base with all of this as some of you have suggested but it is just my instinct kicking in from 48 years of collecting.

Once again I would like to thank everyone who has participated here.

+1 For many years. He was a complete A-hole to me once. So I quit bidding on his stuff way before I learned about all the shady stuff in his auctions.

+1; You're asking to be shilled with early bids. IMO, not sniping is also asking to be shilled. My purchases at AH's is almost nil, and I've purchased 1000's of cards. It's just my personal preference, but if I can't snipe or see the bidders, I stay away. Makes collecting so much more enjoyable.
