Shill Bidding

Look at the bid history on this. The bidder ID's all look way to similar.

That's due to the new ebay policy mentioned at the top of the history.

It's to "protect" the bidders privacy. Also conveniently stops anyone from letting a bidder know that they are being scammed.

NOT saying this is a scam auction. A nice coin certified by NGC. It's legit.

 

I had no idea. Thought the seller had multiple email addresses with asterisks in the middle.

 

$57 is now considered a "higher priced item"?

The break point was $200 when they started this idiocy!

 

It looks to me like it is still $200. Auction at $196 still has the names, but one at $213 does not.

 

Wondered about that myself but I was getting the "coded" names in the history at $57.

 

I have no idea what you are looking at for $57. I just checked ~30 item. Everything below $199 still had full names. $199 and up had coded names.

 

That was earlier in the bidding. For all I know it could be my computer. Has a mind of it's own at times or maybe my browser.
