I thought he banned clowns like that?

Low feedback accounts are usually associated with nonsense shill bidding, but sometimes high feedback accounts try and hide it by setting their max bid higher than the previous sale while a low feedback account “sacrifices itself” to discover the max bid. The bid history of the Mudkip gold star auction I linked above is one such case.

Can’t ban someone that bids items up and then are won by someone else who pays for it

I don’t use sniper bids, but I add my bids within the last 5-10 seconds.

Sometimes I grossly miscalculate what the ending price will be, and I need some level of flexibility in the moment to decide if I’m pushing past my previous psychological bid cap. It’s also a great test to determine how badly I want the card.

Its way more fun setting an alarm for some random auction ending at an odd time then to pay a website to do it for you

Classic Low pop hype over a 10$ card, I’ve seen a bunch of these sales.

Normal people don’t bid that way though seriously. I’m sure it’ll get paid but it’s hard to trust things nowadays

Imagine going back in time to the release of Black and White and telling the fandom that a Seismitoad card sold for 3k

You might honestly have been burnt at the stake for heresy, this would have been a 20 dollar card had it released at any point in time prior to January of this year
