Looks like a blatant shill on the ended item to me.

I guess my first question is why is it being sold again? Maybe the buyer reneged? Looks strange in that respect...

Buyer may have not paid. I sold 3 toys a few weeks ago on ebay, only one was paid for. While I was trying everything to get paid, I got a message from ebay stating that the user was no longer registered and the sale was canceled.

I listed them again and on the last day of bidding, some guy with one feedback placed about 10 5$ bids in a row. I thought he/she was going to ruin my auction.

There's a thread about halfway down the front page where the same seller relisted a trimmed T206 Johnson claiming winner did not pay. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

I've seen the same seller mentioned in a few threads.

I will say I bought some "high grade" '61 Topps baseball from him this weekend. I'll see how "high grade" they are when I get them.

This seems to be adding up to something rotten in the state of Denmark. I could see one person not paying....but two within such a short time period, on pre-war cards. I dunno.....I guess we will see how all of this pans out.

David, You will see some HIGH GRADE Trimming! Also the reason why he relisted it is because his shill bid was not outbid! What percentage of auction houses do you think Shill Bid? I think it is a very high percentage!

I remember I once said something to this affect and it turned out to be a board member that rarely used his ebay account making his bid percentage high. Just saying maybe it was a bad buyer.
