The other has bid on 19 items in 30 days, and one of his go to's is one of the biggest sellers on Ebay.





Maybe it's shilling, but this isn't exactly a clear cut case. It's certainly very strange bidding strategy.

I thought we long ago concluded bid % means very little, unless there's a bunch of retractions to go along with it.

If PWCC can actually match up one of those bidders with a consignor, then we have a smoking gun. As it is, plenty of bidders love to screw around with auctions without being a shill of some sort. Usually it's to the detriment of the seller of the item.

I've never consigned anything with PWCC and I don't think I've ever won anything from them either. They certainly have a checkered history, but this is low on their list of sins, IMO. Of course the auction isn't over yet, and can still take a strange turn.
