Does this look like shilling to you?

I don't know how to detect this stuff. Sadly, it's an item I've been looking for for years image

    No, I would expect to see at least some bid retractions for a shilling account. The activity % is high, but not outrageous. I've seen some well over 90% before.

    Not suspicious, imo. Some buyers do favor certain sellers and 59% is not a huge number.

    Pat, people have asked in other threads if everything is fine after the wild fires, but so far no response. Did everything work out?

    This would't bother me at all. Some of us, like myself, do a high percentage of our bidding with few sellers.
    Collecting PSA 9's from 1970-1977. Raw 9's from 72-77. Raw 10's from '78-'83.
    Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
    Prefer to buy in bulk.

    All good now Dan, thanks for giving me a heads up, I didn't know there were more posts on it.

    ...and thanks the for the shilling opinions. The seller does specialize in autographs, so I guess it is entirely possible someone is bidding on many of his items. When I saw he was bidding on almost 300 different items, my heart sank because I knew I'd have to pay through the roof to get it.

    OTOH, he might be broke after winning all those other items, he won't be able to spend much on yours, lol..
