Wierd bid history? Or just me?

Link

I was interest in this card because I have never seen card #4 for sale before, but when bidding got to $25+, I lost interest.

Looking at the bid history just looks odd...am I just paranoid?

    The bid history looks fine--just two guys who wanted the card. I think you are paranoid. image
  • What are you talking about? There's nothing at all "weird" about the bidding. This is a very typical Ebay auction. Did you make a mistake and intend to have a link to some other auction? So to answer your question: Yes, it is just you.

    I guess seeing the 2 bids by the same bidder back to back, then seeing the same bidder bid twice back to back again was somewhat disconcerting.

    That and the fact I wanted this card just made me overanalyze.

    Thanks.

    I think people who bid twice in a row are simply unfamiliar with an auction sniping service. They bid, let's say, $30.00. Then after thinking about how badly they want the card for awhile, they go back and bid again (even though they are still the high bidder), maybe $40.00.

    That's just my opinion. That and the fact you're paranoid.image

  • I casually build the 71 set in psa 8s and bid every now and then if i can pick em up cheap.Every bidder on that list is a familiar name for 71s. In fact they are usually the ones that outbid me. I have also sold cards to them as well and they are all solid ebayers.

    I'm not paranoid...at least, the voices in my head say I'm not.

    And as far as the bidding thing, it makes sense they posted a bid, thought about it, then posted a higher one. I guess he was the paranoid one image

    Actually, most buyers on eBay don't snipe -- as hard as that might be to believe for us who take it for granted.

    If everybody sniped, NOTHING would receive any bids until the final minute!

    Ax - I think we all feel better knowing that you are just paranoid. Paranoia is treatable, and much more entertaining. Shill bidders are akin to an incurable cancer.

    On a different note. I justed busted four packs of 85 Topps FB. Dent RC and Marcus Allen, plus many commons. They are yours if you want. PM me.

    How true this is - and thank goodness everyone doesn't snipe. It would freak me out to see all of my auctions with no bidders at all - until the end...
