PWCC Bid History

[danmckee]

This has probably been beaten to death and I realize it could be a consignor and not the seller, but when I see these kind of stats, I will not bid again on this item.

I win stuff once in awhile from Brent but I check the bid history always first and I do not do that with all sellers. I missed out on a couple rare Ruth cards a few months ago from him because of this sadly.

If the guy has no retractions it doesn't really bother me too much. Some people bid exclusively on Brent's stuff on ebay because of his reputation and the fear of the unknown in buying from another source.

i agree, there is too much over thinking on this.

there are many ebay sellers out there, when i have 'won' an item all of the sudden the seller lost the item or it got lost in the mail. I have also been contacted after auctions with the seller admitting he shilled the auction or the high bidder didnt pay (in like 5 mins) and offered the card to me direct

As long as consignors are eating the sellers fee with pwcc then who cares if they win the card. Plus like its been said before, some people rather just bid with pwcc and they also get the benefit of better postage because they are buying several cards from many genres..

If you are worried about high bidders with no bid retractions on pwcc auctions then i would worry about every single ebay auction and get off ebay...

Some of the stuff I need is not that common and shows up on PWCC more than other sites. Wouldn't be surprised if my bidding looks like that too.

I have no issue with how many bids someone places. I have a huge issue with the number of retractions a bidder does. Anymore than about 2 and they shouldn't be permitted to bid, imo.

[D. Bergin]

He bid on 4 items in 30 days. I fail to see the issue here. He's just hitting the bid again button instead of inputting a higher bid manually.

++this. I have no idea what my percentage is with PWCC, probably pretty high. Also have no idea what my ebay "score" is either. I bid what I can afford, if I win, then I pay; that simple. The whole percentage with certain buyers means nothing to me.

It's about retractions. Those guys can go to hell.

Not sure why anyone would bid on ebay before the last possible second.

Especially if the seller is a big name who won't end the auction early.

There is a reason for the seller's motto of "bid early and often!". It drives up the price.

I think sometimes people like to dream that they will get that $7,000 Ruth card for $1550 because the whole world will fall asleep and it will somehow fall through the cracks. Other people maybe just want to feel like they are in the game for a 52 Mantle realizing full well they won't get the card for $20,000. Can be a lot of innocuous reasons. Maybe they are just bored and bidding is something to do and they don't expect to win. Not all nefarious.

+1; You're asking to be shilled with early bids. IMO, not sniping is also asking to be shilled. My purchases at AH's is almost nil, and I've purchased 1000's of cards. It's just my personal preference, but if I can't snipe or see the bidders, I stay away. Makes collecting so much more enjoyable.

I don't understand this comment. There are numerous reputable sellers on ebay who provide the same level of customer service as PWCC.

I didn't say I ascribe to the theory, but I know it exists. Frankly I think I provide ebay services equal or superior to every seller in the business as evidenced by my perfect feedback AND perfect star rating.

It is laughable that some of you are saying this is just regular old bidding and not shilling. Especially when it was pointed out that some auctions are making bids a penny under a $5 or $25 number. BRENT CLAIMED HE HAD PULL WITH EBAY ABOUT CHANGING THEIR MODEL TO ROOT OUT FRAUD. HOWEVER, IF EBAY WILL NOT GO BACK TO SHOWING FULL USERNAMES OF EVERY BID, ADDING REGISTERED ZIP CODES OF THE ACCOUNTS, THEY CONTINUE TO PROVE THEY DON'T CARE. I don't know if I ever made bids on PWCC or Probstein auctions, but I probably never will in the future. I prefer buying from smaller sellers at discount prices.

So simple for me... I know what I am looking for.
If I find it I will bid. If it's bid up to a crazy price I'll go back to Facebook.
Otherwise PWCC has stuff I never see. Otherwise ill never find it.
Like the Mays 9.... joke
