Unfortunately it was a private listing, so I can’t check bid info or know how many times someone bid. But the time was the exact same, so figured it was likely a snipe (most big items end with sniped bids). Guess we had the same math lol. Always funny when that happens. Appreciate the feedback though!

Ah k that’s fair, but since the increment is $10, wouldn’t their bid if it was over $856 trigger my $866.01 high bid instead of $866? So maybe their high bid was just $856 and because the increment is $10 it only pushed my max to $866? Crazy how our high bid was so close, but I guess it’s reasonable that our math was similar. Thanks for the input! Figured it wasn’t likely foul play since that probably wouldn’t work against a sniping service, just always weird when the max bid on a snipe hits almost exactly. I was comfortable with my max, so not really all that bad.

Not sure where else to post about this, but I'm curious for the community's opinion on this: Just won an eBay auction for an expensive book, but I'm a little suspicious of the way the auction ended. Basically, I won the auction with a bid of $866 when my max was $866.01...but I used a sniping service so the bid went in like 3 seconds before the auction ended. Only one other bidder bid anywhere close to that, and it was $856. This was a private listing as well. I don't honestly know how someone could shill against a sniped bid, but it feels incredibly suspicious to me. Anyone know how this could be done? Or if it could be done? Or is it just the freak case where someone legitimately bid just below me (it said the bid went in at the same time as mine, indicating it was a snipe as well...just feels odd it was so specific and so close to my max...). I'd thought sniping eliminated the chance of getting shilled, but maybe I was wrong. Would love to hear thoughts on this. Maybe I'm just paranoid lol...

Got absolutely roasted this round. Very confused by some of the grades tbh. No mention of the stain on the back of Strange Tales? 9.2 with corner wear, stress lines and “light” foxing on JLA? Unmentioned corner bend on the Spotlight 9.6? Lot of head-scratchers imo. And here I thought I was getting pretty good at grading 7.5+ books…

Woo 3 bulls and 2 points total (swapped the grades for Frankenstein’s Monster and Superman)—my best round ever! But higher grade bronze/copper are what I primarily deal with so it’s really only downhill from here once we go golden and mid-low grade… Was back and forth on the Showcase and that stain but ultimately decided it was more likely light foxing or weird distro ink than some other stain considering how nice the book looked otherwise. CGC is pretty lenient on light foxing right now.

Anyone experiencing slowdown since WonderCon? I just had two Modern (one Slow one FT) shipments fly through the process in 6 and 8 days respectively, but a 1-book HV I submitted recently is on day 5 of TAT and still on SFG. Not complaining, just curious if anyone else is experiencing a slowdown (or has had any recent High Value shipments).

Nschenks replied to Nschenks's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Maybe the most suspect of the grades I got back in my last sub. Seemed like too many spine ticks to warrant this high of a grade. That said, I can't complain--and it is quite clean otherwise. Press definitely helped the presentation of this substantially.
