True but in 15 years on eBay I have never seen such a wide spread scam that continues to happen multiple times a day.

The books being listed in this 70-80 dollar Chinese scam are getting crazy. I can't wait to start seeing tech 27s or action ones for 86 dollars being listed. After paying more attention to this due to how frequently it's been happening lately I have noticed a pattern. All the seller names seem to be a bunch of numbers followed by a hyphen and a single letter or number, most if not all of the accounts where created sometime in 2017. I wonder if all these scams are being listed by the same person or groupe. It seems likely based on the patterns. Could also be that Chinese people have discovered a very easy and fast way to make between 70-80 dollars from insufficiently_thoughtful_persons.

Its getting even worse now. Seeing back to back listings from china with similar user names and similar prices on CGC key books. went from a few a day to now 6-10+ what is going on? There seems to be a pattern to this. As usual people are smacking that BIN button on a Hulk 181 CGC 6.5 for $86

What kind of maniac needs every single issue of the same series signed by the creators?

I have been on eBay for over 14 years, I have seen a lot of different scams. Some are elaborate while others are blatantly obvious. Recently I have noticed that a common scam seems to keep happening daily now. The scam is a new seller with 0 feedback makes a BIN auction for an item, most of the time its a CGC book but sometimes raw ones come up too. The book is always a key worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars and the seller lists the book for 70 something dollars. I have seen sellers from Russia, Spain, Peru and lately it seems to be china. The sales go threw as well which is weird. Who actually believes they will get a hulk 181 CGC 5.0 for $74? Also do these books get added to the GPA average? Why do they always get listed for 70 something dollars? I have so many questions.

Currently up for auction on eBay.

Last attempt, after this week I will end the search.

The best feeling in the world is when you forget then later when you finally remember to check it sold way more then you were gonna bid anyways. Honestly feels better then winning sometimes

My be all end all grail

If that was the case then hulk 181 would probably be hundreds of thousands of dollars even in low grade

Maybe I should of been more descriptive. I have 2 personal eBay accounts because I live in 2 different countries Canada/USA and my brother owns the third account, which I asked him if I could use it to conduct this test. All you need to shill is 2 accounts so not sure why its such a shock to have access to 3 or more accounts. If you think big eBay sellers have 1 or even just 2 eBay accounts that's a lot scarier then this thread.

looked for an example from recent ended auctions here is an example of what I was talking about.

I understand that but after that second bid how can the next bid also be the same amount from a different bidder? That's 3 identical bids in a row at different times? Maybe im just losing my mind here
