He is this guy-

Update Second Chance Offer was extended to 3rd highest bidder, received no response to offer or ebay email. Interesting notes about this bidder: *Same zip code as the winning non-paying bidder *Over the past few months listed a copy of Star Wars #1 CGC 9.8 and sold it three times. First two are not in the GPA so it appears to be not paid for results, third sale is in GPA. Caught up in the thrill bidding scam or part of it? *Has a copy of Star Wars #1 CBCS 9.8 ending on ebay tonight, were they looking to replace their sold CGC copy by bidding on mine or trying to protect ending auction price of their book? Last update unless something else happens. Extended 2nd chance offer to 4th highest bidder, no response. Guess the bidder's location. Yup, Charlotte NC again.

So it appears that the high bidder is not going to pay for the ended auction Star Wars #1 (1977) CGC 9.8 $2175, and has not replied to contact through the ebay system. High bidder was cous_marc marcus cousins 67862 oak lane Charlotte, NC 28213 Name connected to this address appears to be fake, similar location & MO to other shill/non-paying bidders gathered in the thread HERE. 2nd highest bidder declined purchase of book via email, appears to be unrelated to the high bidder at least by location and their bidding history did not show running up Star Wars 1(or any other slabs) prices. I may have some more info after 2nd Chance offer to the next two bidders but will wait until that is completed. I have already contacted GPA and requested sale be removed from the record.

Have you tried prodding your Archelator? Very wary of doing so after catching a case of Weeksuspensionitis last time I did.

Think things will be faster if I disable the Zlib compression? Recalibrate the flux capacitor?

Can I ask a question? Let's say you are at work where you collect a paycheck. You have a major work problem. The problem has been going on for months and months. The problem affects thousands of users on a daily basis. The problem has been well documented and you've acknowledged the problem exists. What should happen next? No, you may not ask a question.

Hmm, the "spoon" left it open to interpretation on my first read and I had that kick directed somewhere else. Somewhere much more ruthless. It seems even if the Charlotte Charlatan doesn't come through with the cash on this sale, a second-chance offer is still an option for the seller to the second- or third-highest bidder who each had very high feedback. Would that be recorded by ebay and/or GPA? Also, without knowing the high-bidder's motivations, I wonder how much of it is just trying to block other people from getting a book they want versus just trying to drive the price up artificially. More info after the 48 hour mark...

I am no conspiracy theorist and will give bidders the benefit of the doubt. For the most part I have had no problems, but I will say that jaydogrules' observations of the recent bidding on Star Wars 1 CGC 9.8 seem to have merit, whether he believes they are overpriced or not. The zero bidder on mine joined yesterday, which in itself is not suspicious, and then hit the BIN on two other books- one being a SW 1 CGC 9.8 listed at $3150. We'll see if he pays either one of these. Where was this bidder from? NC, which seems to be related to the recent rash of non-paying high bidders on this book. Coincidence? Maybe, still to be determined. Another bidder on mine sold sold the same copy of SW 1 three times before it got registered in GPA. Caught up in the non-paying whirlpool or part of the shill bidding group? Not sure, but guess where they are from. Hotflips had two non-paying $2500 BINs hit on their copy and it was determined by ebay that the IP address was the same- in NC I'm still sorting out the bidders, there seem to be some legit bids and what appear to be some suspicious ones.

It was looking good right up 'til that last bidder. Not really. The shill placed his max bid way back at $1000. It was his fake bid that the legit buyers were competing against and, once again, artificially driving up the price. Frankly the seller should have canceled the bid the moment it was placed. -J. I have had plenty of zero bidder winners that paid, so that attitude is not how I operate nor did I for this listing. Since I did have concerns that one of the other bidders and the zero feedback bidder might be related I called eBay and they told me they weren't even in the same state. That would not guarantee an above boards bidder, but I felt gave it some potential validity. eBay's information turned out to be incorrect. I will update once the dust settles.

I'm hoping not.

That one makes sense....the two $2500 sales with the same serial number sold a month apart don't. A side effect of weird high sales, repeating over and over is helping legit sellers get a nice price from anyone who doesn't look too closely at the sales data. $1892 is probably right, but it looks like a steal. Those were both mine, someone who just signed on that day ended at my price, It turns out that it came from the same IP address and someone is manipulating these auctions on ebay / Buy it now. I don't expect to get that, I do expect to get offers to consider I did relist it again & yes it is the same serial number There is someone selling a 9.8 right now on eBay and is up to $1,825 with 4 hours left Yes and someone is jacking around with that dude's auction as well. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=161758004772&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565 The nonstop shilling going on with this book is making it look like a huge turd. -J. We'll see how it shakes down at the end, I'll certainly report any non-payers or other skullduggery. It's frustrating that people will waste other people's time & money, but I guess the lure of $$ is too overwhelming.

Prompt payment on Incredible Hulk #180 CGC 5.0 purchase, thanks!

For those that have been tracking, what was the action on the last two 9.8 results($2000 & $2500 after the $1944 ow-w result), were they suspected shill auctions as well?
