Dave, I actually think this will benefit you in the long run. The more bids an item has, the more it will attract. I don't think it looks like shill bidding at all, so don't worry about that. I would just let it run.
His bidding may appear this way if he placed a proxy bid and other people bid up his proxy in these small increments. That's what it looks like to me anyway.

I too get a fair amount of repeat custom. You yourself have said in the past you like to get a deal. As do most of the people bidding on my stuff. So I have $30 items closing with 20 bids by 2 or three people. No one has screamed Shill yet. Me thinks Bobby has it right. 'You're overreacting'
Example tell me that some one looking at this could not read Shill into it. Yet they are all legit bids and the same people bid on most of my Auctions in small increments.

Dave, I wouldn't worry about it if its only one coin he's bidding on.Just looks like he wants it to me.  On the other hand, I have one bidder who holds the bids on eight of the twelve coins I have listed and he refuses to be outbid.He has purchased two coins from me in the past but it sure dosen't look good when he's holding all the bids.  |

That guy could make you alot of money, thats the way I see it. I however respect the fact that you worry about integrity and honor and I respect that even if I can spell it. LOL

Years ago I use to play on ebay. I'd do silly things to see how the auction reacts. On one occasion when a valuable coin was started very low, I put in over one hundred bids, beating myself with each bid. I still lost the auction because a few bidders went higher. But I had fun, playing on ebay and it cost me nothing and no harm was done. |

A bidder with a 5 year history, 500+ feedback and 100% positive replies certainly would not be you average shill. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

Well, Richard, it makes it easier to keep track of payments and shipping, especially if s/he pays by PayPal. One winner, one payment, one shipment. |

It is very common on ebay for a bidder to bid on all of a seller's items - especially if they are all similar items. |

Sounds like someone's decided to collect PCGS PR69DCAM Jeffersons. Who'd do a thing like that? |

Yer killin' me here. I'm getting BU Sovereigns for less than one of those would set me back. In fact, that would be the most money I'd ever paid for a single coin. |

Thats the problem with Jefferson's they are either dirt cheap or silly money. I still think you should have a 71 noS Dcam to round off the set at some point. I really do need to get a new car......
