Is this a classic Ebay Shill bidder or what??

I found an ebay seller by the handle of phanton on another CU thread and checked him out. He sells nearly all raw coins, and as I was looking at a few, I noticed a bidder by the name of hemminger.8 as high bidder in a few of phanton's auctions. It turns out that hemminger.8 has bid on 66 of phanton's coins since May 4. Even more brutal is the fact that he has bid on no other ebay sellers coins during the same time period! Do these people think we are that stupid??

In a word, Yes...some people think others are too stupid to figure out what is going on in the world...

I hate when people just assume everyone else is stupid. Like this dealer today in Dalton. At least 6 times he tells me he's a collector, not a dealer...........yet, he has a stack of greysheets, flyers with <HisName> Rare Coins all over it, business cards with the same name, and a self-proclaimed 22,000 coins in boxes behind his table.............then had to preach to me the evils of slabbed coins.

Interesting. There are two forum members that have purchased pretty expensive coins from this seller. One of these thinks the seller is great, the other believes this seller is very deceptive.
