Tenderfoot - Ebay would take a dim view of shill bidding but I don't think that is the case with this bidder, I think the person is new to collecting and bidding on a lot of strikes, some of Richards auctions go for great prices, and for less than he paid for the strike. I see lots of new bidders bidding on just one or two peoples auctions, see others that only bid on a certain persons auctions, do we say all these people are just driving up prices ? Its like Dennis said, Richard doesn't need to resort to having somebody just bidding to raise prices, he could care less.
