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.
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.
Pop has nearly DOUBLED fam. Has the high price driven people to dig their seismatoad ARs out from their closet and submit??? Grail status may be in jeopardy!!!
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
