I don't see it, at least on the Flood
The Flood had 5 different bidders over $75, and the top three bidders all sniped in the final eight seconds of the auction as their only bids. The under-bidder has 9% bid activity with this seller and no bid retractions in the last 6 months. That is far from classic shill bidding. It seems quite a few people valued that card at much higher than $5.

We do not shill and will never shill.
I have to say Todd said it relatively well. I think you are angry because it went for an insane number and you didn't win it (I see you posting buying rarities all the time). So why try and throw Greg and I under the bus? To reflect on strong pricing... Do you believe these cards are shilled? The Killebrew Tattoo went for nearly $400. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-Topps-S...item1e882c3b15 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-Topps-S...item58abc197ff http://www.ebay.com/itm/1954-Bowman-...item4862d98a97 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Topps-S...item1e863c47e3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Topps-S...item58aceccf56 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Topps-S...item58ad034bb2 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1956-Topps-S...item1e87f75080 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-Topps-S...item1e84d99998 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-Topps-S...item486233272e http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-Topps-S...item58acc0352e http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Topps-T...item1e88774cbd Last edited by Sean1125; 03-22-2014 at 10:17 AM.

How are you able to do this when ebay disguises the bidders user name?
I've often wanted to contact the winner of a lot to see if they'd sell me one of the cards in the lot. How do you do it?

I didn't know it was so easy to retract a bid I think I have done it once because I entered the wrong dollar amount. It was years ago but I thought I had to give an explanation.

No offense
but if you contacted me to sell me something off eBay based on my eBay bids and I did not know you, i would tell you to go pound sand but not in such a nice way.

When I sold a lot of cards on eBay I was always contacting other members to try to sell an extra card or buy one out of a lot someone outbid me on. I sold way more cards off eBay than through eBay. I still do it to buy cards once in a while. If a super rare error pops up on eBay that I want I instantly message the seller and ask if they will pull the card off eBay and sell it directly to me. The bad part is usually a fellow board member here has beat me to it. That is funny glynparson, in the thousands of people I contacted not a single one responded like you said you would.

..........and if you offered a card to an underbidder in an auction you had nothing to do with, and they didn't respond to you.........you would assume they were a shiller?............because that's what this thread seems to be about.

C'mon Dave, you know better than that. Larry apparently knows how to crack the ebay security system for protecting bidder's ID's, but he uses this power not for any self-serving purposes but instead to protect the hobby from evil-doers. He only contacts the underbidders to see if they're "real" and if they do not respond, well then, you've got your answer now, don't you. We should be grateful for this tireless and thankless pursuit.
Seems to me we all should pitch in and lend a hand. If Larry would just share with us how to see the bidders' identities we all could take turns monitoring against shill bidding and "out" the shillers' IDs. Together we may even help stop the practice altogether. Although our collective sleuthing abilities are likely not as refined as Larry's, we can at least each do our part.

I call bs
Not one person thought you were a possible scammer. BS. Blow smoke somewhere else. I would especially be suspicious with the current system. Sorry I do not like to be scammed,and I gaurantee I am not the only one. What you explain also violated the agreement you made with Ebayglad to know you honor your agreements so well.
