They suggested their kid had placed the bid, and that they hoped they weren't going to win the auction. Seems wild that a kid would get away with placing a $1700 bid on a comic unbeknownst to their parent, but what do I know.
Anyway, as I am new to this forum, I hesitate to suggest anyone get added to a block list.
The closed auction should be public, along with the high bidder's handle. If anyone in this forum has past interactions with the user and thinks additional action should be taken, feel free to do so.
