My first guess was Superman.

Yup. That’s why I much prefer other auction houses that provide bidder ID’s and bid history to prevent shill bidding such as Goldin, Heritage, Mile High, and REI!

Oh, wait….

Nat admitted he wouldn't have banned me.

Tried to say that they wouldn't have charged me without service but after seeing proof they did said it was a mistake. When asked why they fought the charge he couldn't answer.

After finally getting them on record for this I told him to go...

Silly Khal. The real Superman wouldn’t post here by name. He would obviously be using an alias.

Hey…! Waitaminute..! Maybe dustin42 is the real Superman..?!?

Some in this thread clearly aren’t ashamed to be pro-criminal. Not sure if they can be completely ignored.

I just told you my name is Dustin Lee. I have been doing this for over 2 years.

Yes! BOs White Knight has entered the chat. This one likes to say one thing but do the opposite.

I love the "white knight" and other terms you throw out you have heard. Say something original. Say your name. Coward.

He’s a harmless troll looking to make cards more expensive for himself (and for his employers?) and not worth the time. Common sense is his kryptonite.

Probstein will be under the microscope next.

Good riddance to these scumbags.

You could see the shill bidding for years. Once they went to private listings I'm sure it was much worse. It will be interesting to see how many people follow them to there own platform.

What I find interesting is the video of PWCC responding to hobby questions, they said they have 150k users, and their blocked list is 20k users long. Ebay only allows you to block 5000 people max, and they have to shuffle people from the bottom out so they can put new people in on the top.

If I am doing that math right, about 15 percent of all PWCC customers get blocked for bad activity. If that isn't a great in your face metric I am not sure what is. That is just the stuff they are actually blocking for whatever reason.

PWCC will be performing maintenance for some exciting database and site improvements from 6-8PM PT

jayjones82 · 08-26-2021, 08:20 PM

I think they did away with the eBay marketplace research thing. You can only check their past premium auctions now

dustin42 · 08-26-2021, 09:49 PM

PWCC does not have the traffic and customer base to continue their operations without eBay. They also don't have the funds like the huge investment firms that have just invested millions in the last few months into the industry. They can't compete with eBay. No TPG's want anything to do with them.

They will start singing soon.
