It's a dirty auction, you can walk away or use that information to your advantage, you want the cards? Make them an offer that is fair to you.

As others have said, HiBid is an auction platform. You get everything from mid size, very reputable auction houses to small back woods actions in the middle of nowhere. A lot of the AH on HiBid seem to be associated with real estate agents (e.g. the auctions are to sell the contents of houses during estate clearance). I'd suggest he considers the actual AH that he's dealing with. I've used HiBid and it can be really useful for finding good prices but some auction houses know nothing about cards. They're descriptions and packing can be iffy.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate your input.

You should create a separate post in the Pre-War section to ask this question. It will get more visibility there and you'll get more thorough responses, rather than in the middle of a different thread.

I had this happen with a well known auction house - I'm always a bit wary, but was content to get the lot for the bid I had placed and accepted the offer. Another time I knew I was shilled and refused to buy it (in hindsight wish I had - it was Mastro)
