They Don't Even Hide The Shill Bidding Anymore...

eBay.com Item Bid History

Take a guess as to which bidder I am... The rest of them in the upper stratosphere are literally comical percentages with the seller - I have no idea how people sell anything when legit bidders don't even get or pay for so many of the cards. It makes no sense to me. With a card like this, you never know if you'll see it pop up again, so it makes it all the more frustrating. Sorry to rant another shill rant, but it's annoying.

Why make the effort to hide it? eBay has proven that they aren't interested in stopping it and most bidders don't care to look. You can't let it bother you. Just set your max bid, and hit submit with 10 seconds left.

10 seconds??
I wait until 6 or 5 (depending on the device I'm using).
Don't give 'em any time to think about it.

One bid at 5 seconds.

Highest bid at 2 seconds. It'll go through.

In all honesty stuff like this just makes me avoid all probstein auctions. It's a shame because they do have nice listings but you know stuff like this happens all the time
