Pretty sure this was a shill. If not the purchaser has inroads with Heritage. It could also be fraudulent but I doubt it. I was outbid on a coin I wanted on ebay. A week or 2 later it shows up in the Heritage weekly auctions. I won the coin on Heritage for 17% less even after Heritage's buyers premium!

Congrats - we call that Karma in Kalifornia.
Pokers a bit different than buying coins in an auction but in poker most colluders don’t know what they’re doing and besides cheating they usually cost themselves money.
comeuppance?
Was it a 1900 barber half?
Heritage has bought coins from me off eBay. I didn't know it was Heritage until I saw the shipping address.
Seems like I have been getting outbid by bidders with 100% action with the seller.... hmmmm that's shilling in my mind.
I make a mental note and NEVER return to their auctions.
2 weeks is pretty fast turnaround for a buyer to send a lot in to Heritage after winning the lot on eBay.

That's why I said or somebody has inroads with Heritage.
Why do you ask?
