    We can't really see who you're talking about. All the ebay user ID's show up as *** instead of their real name. Might just want to take a screen shot or tell us which user you're talking about.

    ... Two bid retractions by a zero feedback user, canceled in less than a minute? And you don't find that suspicious?

    Not to mention THESE ARE REPRO CARTS.

    Edit: Looking through the seller's other listings...

    One retracted bid from a 0 feedback user here, and SEVEN BIDS by a zero feedback user here.

    Yeah, that seller is not to be trusted.

    Edit: Confirmed, check all of that particular buyer's bids. He's a shill account.

    Good catch, XianXi. Sometimes I hate dealing with the video game community. Collectors are just fine, generally. But sellers are often shits.

    Edit: Damn, Kitsune Sniper. I was gonna do a little digging myself, but... Thanks.

    Well, I'm doing my part and reporting all of his auctions. ^^

    It's people like him that drove me away from listing auctions.

    One could always make a shill account and win his auctions...
