I've had a couple times where what looked like shilling turned out to not be shilling at all.
I don't think this is one of those. I was on the fence because his bidding fit a pattern that seemed more like inexperience or gaming the syatem by using retractions to find the current high bidders maximum. Lots of bids on the ungraded cards, fewer on the graded, and more on certain years. That seemed more like a collector unfamiliar with bidding.
Then I saw the bidding on the watch. Same bid up then retract. That ckinched it for me. If he was just a collector new at bidding he'd have stuck to the cards.
