<p>[QUOTE="jwitten, post: 2327575, member: 70583"]Almost every time I see someone complaining about shills, I can usually find an explanation for why it might not be. This one, not so much. Same coins being immediately sold with a different seller, in the same city. All the coins were "sold" to the same bidder. If you check that bidders history, 100% of his bids were with that seller. Both usernames have bad feedback, for the same reasons (not honoring sales, etc. I guess that is why he decided to start shilling, to prevent negatives).</p><p><br /></p><p>edit to add- looks like the one offering the coin now was the "winning bidder" (feedback number matches). But considering they are in the same city, have the same listing style, and have only bid on the other sellers auctions (100% of their bids are on the other sellers items) I am 99.999999 positive its a shill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
