I just won a coin (only $8) from a VERY active coin seller 373,000 feedback at 100%

Something seemed off on the bidding (I buy this coin often), so I looked at the bidders below me.

This seems strange.

on second look, I think this says 620 bid retractions, but zero with this seller.


But, What the heck?

This looks highly unusual, 15% bid retractions. Also 61% with one seller looks odd too, but people have their favorite online stores, so its not impossible.

I also have a favorite seller....but 620 bid retractions, really? wow

If it wasn't for that part of it the 61% could easily be explained.
I could purchase 15 things and 9 with the same seller easily.
Rest in Peace

To make it a $12 coin.

This is just weird. Could it be a bot?
