Probably the case of using the funds from these sales for other ventures.

Not that I have the time or could be bothered.
example 1 (And believe me, There are many....)

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2007-NRL..._Rugby_League_Merchandise&hash=item3f3bc437d4

Now, EVERY NRL COLLECTOR and his family pets know that Dave from Adelaide is nuts for number 036 cards (God bless him)
And I know (As I have, And seen from others) If a 036 card pops up... We let him know!! - It's the decent thing to do...
As you can see the underbidder is our beloved Crai5150... Seen here bidding to $100 for a card (of 350) you can PAY OVERS for at $60-$70 every other day of the week... It's also a card (I would bet my last Grandparent on) that he already has, For a team he doesn't support...
So Why?
Both the Winning Bidder and under bidder have been around long enough to have dealt with each other quite a bit, And I am sure both of them are well aware of who each other are.
I have been collecting the dirt on this guy for a while, I was tired of watching him get away with it again and again - Then getting on here and pretend he is no one and doesn't know anything... He has been around a long, long time and knows much more than he lets on....
This guy systematically goes around bidding up honest collectors for a few different reasons
(That I can put it down to):
1: Ensuring his own collection (Which I believe is quite big) stays at a value he is happy with in a declining market
2: No one who is anyone will trade with him FACT!!
3: He gets a sick sense of satisfaction in making collectors (mentioned above) Pay overs for something he doesn't want.

Now where I am from, If you act like a germ, And conduct yourself in this sort of manner... You are, in fact a germ!!
The fact he is well aware of this thread and hasn't bothered to defend himself backs it up....

I guarantee all of us have been schilled up by this guy for whatever reasons, And the ones listed above at some point... I have link after link of him doing it, to different bidders on different stuff for as far back as you like.

BEWARE, If you are bidding against him (And you will) 5***r (almost 7000 fb) , You will probably win your item, AND you will probably pay more for it than it's worth or than you wanted to....
Maybe outing his "Activities" here, Making the honest collector more aware of what he's up to will put an end to his schill bidding....

I guess we'll see... But you've been warned

Mate definitely came across this guy a few times on eBay. I got into a bidding war and it got up high and dropped it on him as he shill bidded me up for several cards. Anytime I see him bidding on cards, I avoid him as I know I'll be schill bid up.

as i don't use ebay much Just wondering how you all can tell who the bidders are. I thought ebay blocked out the usernames, and only showed random characters and letters.

I hate schill bidders they do it a lot in the USA i dont how many times i have paid over priced for some things.
What are the sniper tools like for ebay are they good?

batboy · Oct 1, 2014

Bidding on a lot of the same stuff and reviewing feedback etc are the stand outs... You kind of get to know who everybody is over time, It's a pretty small community!!

yes that's true but it also gives feedback rating
pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together. ***5jf (566) for example, suspect shill bidder for example joeblogs(566) same feedback,
almost certain to be the same person, feedback updates

pretty much what Rob said really

I bought a card off him to complete a set. His name is Dave Matthews; is that the same guy?

batboy · Oct 3, 2014

Dave Matthews is elusive winger...

nznrl · Oct 3, 2014

Another one on the ignore list then

jussy · Oct 3, 2014

Hi guys does that mean his ips are no good because i bought 2 of him,

batboy · Oct 3, 2014

He runs about half and half...
Dumb as a box of hammers though. Will put a fake right next to an original on his FB page
- Not realising they are ridiculously different.

jussy · Oct 3, 2014

Thanks for letting me know ill put the 2 cards in the bin,

nznrl · Oct 3, 2014

As stated I wouldn't say everything is fake, he has bigger issues than fakes, proven shill bidder, always overpriced etc etc

I hate the fact that people go to meet and greats just to get a shit load of cards signed to make money all items i get signed are for my personal collection only never to sell
