ebay bidder dan.netscape.net-- t214 card on ebay
Posted By: RC McKenzie
There is a beater t214 card on ebay that is being shilled by the seller, cappiello5953 with his other name dan.netscape.net.. dan.netscape.net has blown by me, dylan and glenv and is probably going to win this 'beater'. Apparently, dan.netscape really loves to bid on cappiello's auctions as he has 44 feedback rating with 300 positives, most of which have been heaped upon him from cappiello. Ebay needs to open back up the process. The only way I know what's going on is that the card is such a beater it can't make it to $200 no matter how many times dan.netscapes bids. Regards |

The thing about it though is that this bidder is winning a lot of the auctions that are put up by the seller. If he was shill bidding, wouldn't he back off and not lead/win so many auctions? I have seen some people with a boatload of feedback from one person before in the world of baseball cards. Back in the day when communication was easy between fellow members, you could talk to the people. It was simply a matter of the seller having what they wanted and trusting the seller. |

I know it looks suspicious, however I don't think this is a case of shill bidding. He has plenty of feedback from this one seller. However, go through at least the first 5-6 pages of his feedback. If you read the feedback he has left, you get an idea of what he is bidding on. For the most part, he sticks with only a few sellers at a time, for a good number of auctions. Judging from what he bids on, and it looks like a lot of coins, this bidder may just be all about collectables. Who knows, maybe he runs a shop or something? And like I said, to be winning all these auctions does not lend me to believe it's shill bidding. Either that or he has no idea how to shill. |

..is to see how long it takes for someone on the board to alert one or both of these guys about this thread. I'll be surprised if we don't see a post by either party within 48 hours. |

I don't know ebay's policy, but I would think that if both the seller and buyer leave feedback for eachother, and both are positive comments, would ebay give back any credit on a non-paying bidder? Because if not, that would be a great waste of money being that the discussed bidder has won a lot of this guys auctions. All that money spent for what, a positive feedback? |

"In regards to the use of the typing, I've seen that same description of what you are saying all over ebay feedbacks by plenty of people. It's nothing unusual." |

Probably the most compelling argument for this being a SHILL is that the buyer (dan.netscape.net) likes caps trading cards, his teddy bears and his dolls.....if dan was only buying one of these it might provide for an adequate defense. |

Just because someone is potentially winning a lot of their own auctions doesnt mean their not shill bidding. They could be protecting their investment, setting a reserve, and if it doesnt reach that price theyed assume hold on to it. In this case when you have a seller selling many different types of items, and a bidder bidding on all of them, whether teddy bears or baseball cards, that is extremly suspicious. And so what if this thread is talked about without this guy involved. Is he a net54 member? Anyone personally know him? If he wants to defend himself great, but its not a neccisity. From what i can tell it looks to be a pretty indefencible position the guys in anyways |
