they have limited time and the MOSTLY buy from me or PWCC cause they know they can win items without reserves....gee, where was all that shilling on the 1914 CJS ? meanwhile there is another thread somewhere with accusations that shilling happened on 1914 CJS meanwhile several of them went of low...can't be both ways

most people who would engage in shilling would probably not be using an account that is recognizeable. Alot of people have their friends and relatives bid on their stuff....it makes it harder to trace. I know of flea marketers that have more than 10 accounts on Ebay that are always in use
