Anyone every buy from this guy. I have been looking at some unopened non-sports items but this guy shills the snot out of his cards. I have been looking at one certain item and the same guy throws a bid in within an hour of the listing and seems to never win and loses by just a dollar every time.

Really hate that.

    I got a 2008 Topps Chrome FB case from him a few years ago. I made an offer and he took it. I had no problems. Shipping was slower than Blowout or D&A.

    His feedback is solid. But his shilling is crazy.

    I have known Tracey for close to 20 years - and would frankly be shocked if he was shill bidding.
    Any chance you can point to the auctions in question as I looked at several of his auctions and didn't see anything.

    It could be Mr Schilitto again

    Edited To Add: I looked at the bid history of about the last dozen or so completed auction items and while it is odd that he has so many low feedback bidders and that he sometimes/many times gets 20-30 bids+ on a $30-$50 item, I did not see any definitive signs of schilling. In fact, if I had to venture a guess, I would say it was the fact that he sold items that were geared towards the modern card collector and/or the kiddies who dont know how to bid once instead of making 30 bids on the same item a buck at a time
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    I've done business with them on ebay and through their site a few times, their customer service is always good and prices are really good.

    The bidder in question has feedback of over 4000 and bids only on Bigt36 items when I have been looking. I was looking at the Hunger Games cards for my child.

    Edited to say 4000 feedback, not 400. Guessing this is one of his buying accounts.

    If you snipe the item in the last 3 seconds he can't shill your bid.

    He resides in my hometown. I have been to his shop many times and made several purchases. I have dealt with him in the card level since the early 90's. He has the cards. Now about the schilling I am not sure, but I bought a contenders 2005 unopened box fro $230 counting sales tax.image

    2 minutes of research showed me this is the person you are accusing of being a shill for BigT36

    Your guessing would be flat out wrong.

    I did my research but could not find said dealer. Cavalier is correct.

    How were able to figure this out in two minutes? I spent a good deal of time going through closed auctions and feedback.

    Just so people know --
    What I did, is looked at the Hunger Games Auctions in question, picked one of the auctions that a person with 4000 feedback won, went to bigt36's feedback left, changed the page to 200 instead of 50, typed in control F and 4038 (which was the feedback number or wahtever it was) and it took me right to the buyer. Then I typed his name into the advanced search and looked to see what he bid on just to doublecheck.

    Like I said before I have know Tracy at Big T's for 20 years, he is a good guy and and he is just not the kind of guy to play games. I just know when he was accused of shilling that doesn't sound like the person I know.
