I am admittedly not a huge buyer, but what I have learned about Probstein and PWCC - from my own observations and the information posted on this board - has led me to decide to never do business in any way with those two.

Sharing this information matters.

That makes at least 2 of us!

If I see a lot which has a bidder/bidders with bid retraction/s I don't bother to bid. It has changed my bidding ways on eBay for sure. The only thing which scares me more are the auctions where we can't see this going on. I hope other auction houses are taking notice & cleaning up their acts if need be.
I applaud those who bring these things to our board & for us to read.
Thank you

If this bothers you, then do something. Specifically, make a large bid early. Watch it get shilled to above your maximum and then retracted to just below it. Then do your own retraction with 12 hours left (the latest allowed) and watch the shiller get stuck with it and pay fees on the inflated price. Works best with consignors.

Doesn't mean we can't do our small part in affecting their bottom line.

Another way Ebay is making everything harder .

Things were a lot more work before Ebay.

Depending on exactly when, there were always odd difficulties. And just as much scamming. Of course, the money was a lot less.
