i think you posted the 1st account used on the 1st sale...

this is the 2nd one:

30-Day Summary
Total bids: 99
Items bid on: 88
Bid activity (%) with this seller: 70%


personally i think this is great and they deserve each other. how does probstein not have knowledge of the shill process here? i, have personally stopped bidding on his auctions these days and have now noticed a lot of cards undergoing a new selling system:

1. card gets listed at outrageous buy it now price w/ best offer option. all @ $5K for $100-$300 cards. this under the guise of "saving time w/ listings".
2. the card then gets auctioned/shilled for just above what solid offers were made for said card in step 1 above.
3. card then pops up for buy it now at just below shilled price in step 2.

this happened to me on several cards from a 73 set break and a couple dock ellis cards...

my name is Bob Evans and have no problem telling this in face and in person to rick.

I think he meant to post the bid history from the 1st auction...that's the one accused of shilling. I agree with Mike, I don't see shilling either. If someone else does, please point it out. It appears that some CU member mentioned shilling and, as typical, other CU members piled on.

As far as the OP goes, sorry but there is enough information out there about Probstein that you should have known better. You play with snakes...

I appreciate the feedback and have read all the replies.

For the record again, I did not bid on this item either time. I had no idea it was relisted until he sent me this months invoice. No matter what I say people will claim shilling, but thats simply not that case. If it happened, it happened on his end. Honestly at this point I wish he would had not put it on my invoice at all and just pocketed the money without me knowing versus taking the money and then chagrining me.

As far as the math goes Probstein123 should be adding the additional $45.32 to my sellers invoice not taking it out of my invoice.

Looks like some of our Jethroes here need some practice with their cipherin. Math isn't all gazintas

Also, no shilling seen here.

rick or his employees using their own accounts to bid up prices could certainly be plausible...

Where is there evidence of shilling by anyone?

Looks like the OP is square on in his concerns. From the latest post, I can't see how that can be disputed.
