Default Shill Bidding, STAY AWAY

no, im not saying that because i was going to go after this card, but after looking at the bid history, this is an obvious shill w/ 2 bidders with 2 feedback bidding it up...

this is more like a $50 card, not $100

eBay.com Item Bid History

The high bidder with 2 feedback does not look like a shill bidder to me. He has bid on 8 different cards from 8 different sellers, and in each auction he put in 2-3 bids. He was also the high bidder in 4 of those 8 auctions. Looks like a legit bidder to me.

I sold a Wayne Gretzky jersey from 98, the Liberty Jersey that was only worn for a single year and two guys with zero feedback bid it up to 335 and one of them won it. They said they signed up on Ebay because they were looking for that jersey so didn't bid on much else. Paid and left nice feedback. Have some faith, is it really out of the question that they just really wanted it?

Both memebers w/ 2 feedback have only bid on one item w/ this seller. I need to see a pattern of multiple items shilled before I can make that assumption. I will say that I always get a premium for every Witten card I sell, these #'s do not surprise me at all.

I dont think this is shilled at all. Obviously the current high bidder really wants this card.

still. part of my reasoning is that the ONE OF ONE patch auto printing plate with just as good of a patch went for $66.....

this makes no sense, and with one guy having 87% bidding with the seller
