So were many others of the shillers, I mean buyers group!

Right, I am only saying knowing his ID was not in and of itself suspicious.

First, you're defending Brent telling someone to shill bid on their items, now you're defending him knowing who his customers are and having their contact info? Sure seems like you have an "undisclosed purpose" participating in this discussion.

As I am sure you are smart enough to know, I am merely being fair and objective and when people rely on evidence I don't consider incriminating, I will say so. Defending him is the last thing on earth I would do.

Incidentally a purported class action suit was just filed against PWCC in Oregon federal court alleging shill bidding. The Complaint is pretty bare bones.

Hopefully this will shed some light on whether or not the shill bidding allegations made by eBay do in fact hold some teeth. Although I know next to nothing about the likelihood of how things might play out in court either way.

I wouldn't bet on this suit going anywhere.

Yes, I was just joking. But my point was that I'm doing the same exact thing. I'm being objective as well when I evaluate the evidence for and against PWCC's accusations. Yet you still assert that I might be some sort of company shill or acting on their behalf for some reason. I am a completely neutral party. I have no interests in PWCC other than being an objective observer of the hobby and an occasional buyer of cards that people happened to consign with them.

OK I will accept that representation.
