[QUOTE="rodeoclown, post: 1341121, member: 34005"]You can click on Show Automatic bids but it doesn't provide much else but you have to pay attention to the dates and times as well. This is why I don't think shilling is involved. u***7 only made one actual bid in the process. A max bid of 36.35 but was retracted, what appears to be back to 35.00 on the 2nd, 3 days before end of auction. d***u made a bunch of bids and went has high as 55.00, but retraced on the 1st, likely back down to make u***7 the high bidder again. u***7 maybe realized after he saw the price go from a few bucks to over $30 they were gonna pay, had that second thought of paying $35 for a crappy coin and retracted, which then made d***u the winner at $35.00. So if there was shilling in this auction, it was d***u who was driving up the price and they ended up with the item anyways as the result. I'd imagine if d***u was the shiller, driving the price up on another member, they would have retracted to make u***7 the winner. There was no action from Jan 2nd to the 5th on this item, when most of the bidding and retracting took place. Clearly the bid history would show that d***u is the potential shiller with all those bids to drive the price up, they did retract and made u***7 the high bidder, but so did u***7 three days before the end of auction. If you're gonna go through the trouble of driving up the price, why end up being the winner of your own auction? At least that's my theory but then again, bidding history on eBay sort of sucks with the info they give you and who knows if it's truly accurate.[/QUOTE]
