Default Worst case of shill bidding I have ever seen

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=220557660007

Look at the bid history, amazing!! I have reported it 14 times to no avail.

Also, card is a fake, seller sent me a scan of the back and the word reprint is scratched out on the bottom back right. Too funny.

Not only an outrageous case of shill bidding (love those zero feedback guys), but note the card has 47 bids and still hasn't even reached $200 yet.

I love the retracted bid of $100.26, just to bid $100.01. I'm still laughing at that one.

I love the fact that the seller actually added the phrase "From Galasso Set" to the description this morning. If, as he states in the item description, he inherited it from his father who had inherited it from his father, this poor family is dropping like flies. When did Renata Galasso release this set? Early 1980's?

He was shut down before and had a similar name. Looks like some needs to bid it up and drop the NEG for feedback

In his other auction. He is including a 1933 Reprint Goudey Ruth. He knows about Babe Ruth reprint in that auction. But not this one. Pretty strange.

He is selling some Pokemon cards. I wonder if they were handed down from his great grandfather?

Default Report

I tried to report item unsuccessfully, how do you report? I hit "report item" and it asked me if I tried to contact seller, etc./didn't seem to work. How can this listing have gone on this long without being pulled? I emailed the guy that the FBI will be contacting him. I hope other people that know how to will report this as well...

Ok, so there's a bit of shill bidding going on.... let's give credit where it's due:

1 - At least the scan of the cardis probably not stolen.
2 - The card is not in a repuatable third party grader's holder.
3 - At least not all of the shill bidders have "0" feedback!
4 - It's cheap entertainment value for bull boards like ours.
