There's a one-feedback bidder that was putting in multiple single bids, followed-up with the same pattern later by a three-feedback bidder.

3 feedback guy put in two bids total, and a 136 feedback bidder currently has them both topped in total bids.  Multiple single bids alone != shilling

Current top bidder has 67 feedback, and yet he's clearly maxed his bid at least at $310.  9.8s of this book don't even sell for anything close to that.

This is merely a bidding war of the ill-informed of unsound mind.

Over $300-- even with the dark photo-- there are several that show the Punisher logo at the bottom-- you'd have to be a pretty uniformed collector to think this was an original.  Shame if an honest bidder gets taken on this.

Those photos of the Punisher logo at the bottom are new.

Pretty shady to add those photos and a statement about it being a reprint after the bidding reached above $300. "See ebay, I was being honest."

I'm pretty sure you can't add photos to an auction once there has been a bid, but regardless, I have little doubt this seller started out hoping to cash in on uniformed buyers and was playing hanky panky with the shadowy shots.

You can add photos as long as there are more than 12 hours left in the auction.

Alright, 1 feedback guy struck again and has no activity with other sellers.  Now we're getting shilly.

Still, why the f are legitimate bidders bidding so freakin' high?????  $380 now!!!

most of bidding these days is done on mobile devices. The eBay app is designed in way to deliberately show the user very little information by default in regards to the item on which they are bidding.

Uniformed bidders are the worst. Thinking they're special because they've got a special outfit...

There only needs to have one illegitimate bidder to compromise the auction, regardless if the high bidder is legitimate that bidder was inversely affected by at least one shill thus compromising the integrity of the auction.

It would appear sale #1 fell through:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/amazing-spiderman-129-featuring-the-punisher-graded-9-4-REPRINT-/253387287156

You gotta be kidding me with this guy :facepalm:! Did you see the photos for his other listings? I can't see them without some sort of super magnify mode on my phone. One of them was taken next to his "dri-fit" sock! Dude's a joke!
