How many bids.....

[hairyangryfella]

I browse eBay often looking at Flawless cards etc, and I keep noticing some very strange bidding on several items (though not just Flawless), basically the sheer number of bids some people are putting on items.

Like this guy - http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....eName=PageBidderProfileViewBids_None_ViewLink

He has nearly 3,000 feedback yet bids up to 88 times on an item??? What the h.......

Yeah I get guys bidding like that on items I need and I know they have no intention of buying it.
Most if the times is most likely they prob bought the same card and paid higher then they wanted and don't want it going to cheap so they place bids by $1 until they see ur max bid

That is strange indeed.

Especially when they put in a "loser bid" eg bidding 29.99

This guy averages almost fifteen bids on every single item he bids on. Insane.

I really want to know who this dingbat is...

The bidder is trying to make the listing look as though it is shilled so that the bidder can profit by paying lesser than what it would have cost.

this is one of the huge problems with using Ebay prices to gauge value. The prices really can only ever go down unless shenanigans like this are involved.
