What do make of this, shill or insane?

Out of the blue and buying $1000.00 of $ worth in ungraded coins. I have been wanting to try a coin from this person, but this bidding is insane (great deal if grades are accurate, but!!!) This is not the first time I have seen this from the same seller. Do you think he finds people with no kowledge and lots of money to waste? Or is he giving them a great product at a good price and they are smart enough to realize this?

I'd say shill, but you never can be too sure.

How much are you willing to spend (i.e. lose) in order to find out? If the answer is 'nothing' then don't bid.

Strange. Look at the 1882-O Morgan. Auction closed with 28 bids. A lot of different bidders there ... doesn't look like shill bidding.

If it is a shill, this seller isn't the sharpest pencil in the box. Shills aren't supposed to actually win.

Well I WAS willing to spend about $100 bucks however I feel I am done with this guy.

This is no shill, or the shill is very stupid. Looks more like a very unknowledgable newbie with a lot of money to spend looking at trends and just assuming MS67 on a NTC is really MS67.

I realize this is probably not shill bidding but it sure is weird. This happens every other time or so he has auctions. A new E-bayer out of the blue buys many $100.s or $1000.s worth. I have also seen many new people on ebay buying anything and everything they come across, just WEIRD. I have no idea where they come from or what there intentions are but I don't think it is for the fun of the hobby.

Do you think that it is HSN or Coin Vault patrons that can't believe the amazing deals that they are finding on Ebay the first time that they start looking at Ebay
