Possible shell bidding

[AKSaint]

Yes, I noticed the same thing prior to bidding. In the past 30 days, that bidder has placed well over 150 bids, 97% (according to eBay) of the bids placed with that seller. Each bid is in $5 increments. Zero feedback and that many bids.

It also appears that there are some other user names that are also placing shill bids with this seller.

I have bought three helmets over the past months with this seller, and wanted the Tuck today, but after seeing over 50 bids on the Shockey with 10 mins left, I did some investigating and found the same thing that Jason posted. Turned me off so I didn't bid.

Probably some funny business on the three I bought but didn't notice at the time.

I was the 2nd place bidder on the Shockey helmet this AM It seems most of these Giants are going from the upper $200s to low $400s which, like you stated is really not that bad. I have also noticed the excessive amount of bid on many of this sellers auctions. Does anyone know who this seller is and how he is acquiring all of these gamers?

I lost a few items too, last second bids....so again I doubt it's shill bidding.

The seller also accepted my offer on the Sehorn cleats for about half of what he wanted, shipped quick and was great when it came to holding on a few days for payment.

Have a hard time thinking those were shill bids, and he never offered me any of the items I lost too. Especially when I already had a transaction with him, not one second chance of mention of "oh the high bidder on that never paid".

For some reason this thread reminds me of this. A guy selling custom Giants helmets a couple years ago now. You never know when stuff gets thrown into the ring that is meant as an innocent hobby.
