Question on this EBay auction???

[Jeff_cvc]

Can any experts out there shed some light on this auction for me. Why did this xxxxx go for $xxx? It looks like a vg-ex in my amateur opinion, which would put it around a $xx card. Am I understating the cards condition or is there something else I'm not seeing. I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!

****(It was recommended I remove the link as to not possibly mess up the completion of the sale, when the sale is completed, I will repost)

And the seller mentions that it might be trimmed!

Here are my thoughts...

Possible ultra tough front back combo

Possible shill bidding

Or the seller is a really good car salesman

Nothing about the bidding looks like shilling.......

Some guys doing a back run that need a Factory 30?

Doesn't look like shilling to me. The guy has sold mostly T206s with clear scans of the front and back, so 10% bid with this seller doesn't seem strange.
It looks like the guy with 1151 feedback set a lot of snipes on this guy's auctions and won all/most of them.

Just looks like the guy is trying to put together a Factory 30 subset, since all the cards this seller listed were Fac30.

That is a lot to shell out to complete a subset. Maybe if it was the more difficult factory 25 I would get it, but the fac 30 wouldn't seem that difficult to acquire. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

There is a reason for it and I would take down the link so nobody messes with the sale. I think this might be the same auction that Josh posted this morning and then took down for the same reason. Give it a few days to ship and then I am sure people will discuss.

Well if someone messes with a sale once it's completed then they're a pathetic loser who has no morals/ethics. I know one person on the memorabilia side who enjoys doing this to people that get good deals.
