Short Mask Biker Scout

[phreatobite]

I saw this carded biker and two things struck me:

1) the blatant shill-bidding
2) it appears to be a short mask variant but this isn't specified on the afa grading?

Just had a look at all their other auctions and it does seem a bit sus. The same person with 13 feedback has bid on all auctions. I know its possible they are genuine and just want every figure. Thier Rebo band looks minty mint.

It is definitely a short mask biker scout - wonder why that is not added to the AFA label

As for the bidding - why do you think it is shill bidding - I can't see anything wrong with it myself - shill bids normally go up in small amounts and tend to have a lot of 9's in them (2.99, 3.19 3.49 etc)

Nope no shrill bidding here. This is another great seller who has sold some stunning pieces in the past 8)

I have to ask, what is shrill bidding? You seem to use that term quite a bit

 

[itfciain]

Shill bidding is a term given to bid placed by the seller on his item either through a second account or through a mates account. They normally go up in small increments so as to find out what the top bid is on an item

Shill bids are normally small amounts and tend to end in 9 - so you will see a loy of 9.99. 10.99. 11.99 as sellers hop to find the top price that a buyer has put in for their item

If Ebay catch you they can ban you
