I was wondering if we could keep a log of auctions that were shilled and the sale never went through. I don’t always catch shilled auctions or even follow certain cards but it would be nice to have a central place to keep track of them.
@pierce do shilled auctions show up on your site?
What are some key signs that an auction is being shilled?
Thanks!

I don’t exactly know either.
Check out my guide on shilled auctions here: www.elitefourum.com/t/how-to-recognize-shill-bidding-on-ebay/14004/1
One addition since the creation of that guide a couple years ago is the advent of private listings. There is no legitimate reason to host a private listing and you should immediately be suspicious of any listing that has it.
All auctions appear on the site, the only way to tell if one was shilled though is to look at the bid history.
I’m going to be adding to analytics a section for most sold cert #’s which will show what cards are getting flipped/resold the most, this might also catch shilled auctions with non paying bidders that are getting relisted. I’m pretty interested to see the data, even I haven’t had a look at it yet. I am interested to see how many of the pwcc 1st ed base 10 holos re-enter the market or if they’re staying locked in collections.
