I wonder if this is a shill?

Another auction

Now why would you think that? One is phxauto, and the other is paulofphx.

"carter688" and "phxauto" are bidding on every one of his auctions. Including a picture of his sick girlfried auction

Man that is one ugly girlfriend, sick or not.

Hey, I live in Phoenix

I could pick up the item, AND thank him for shilling me up

Actually, the latter is (only) bidding in each auction except the "sick girlfriend" one. Reported nevertheless.

It's like P. T. Barnum always said "There's one born every minute" . . .

Now this must have been a shill bidder!

You are one sick mofo! SoCalBigMark

what the hell has this world come to -- man, what an ugly picture.

I am sticking just to coins; I have enought trouble differentiating these!!

and p.s. - yes I agree that these are shills. I just sold some coins on EBay and am always concerned with bidders with 10 feedbacks or less.

I highly doubt the seller really owns the 1880 Proof Half Eagle

According to Heritage they have this to say about the coin:

<< <i>1880 Proof $5. While the business strikes of 1880 are among the most common dates of the series, proofs are extremely rare. Only 36 examples were originally minted and it is estimated that today possibly fewer than ten survive in all grades. >>
