The winning bidder had bid with this seller 72% and the next highest bidder had bid 75% of the time with this seller.

Probably. Did you lose? If so better that way, move on and don't bid on that guy again .

I was bidding on it up until it reached over $450.....that's the highest I was willing to go.....I just found it fishy it would jump between these 2 bidders at ridiculous increments

Not necessarily shill bidding. Could've just been two guys who really wanted it. Doesn't do the seller any good to shill beyond what's reasonable.

Doubt it. A high percentage of bids from one or more buyers doesn't necessarily mean they're shills.

What's a fair price for this comic?

I think it can be hard to determine shill bidding looking solely at how often a buyer bids on a particular sellers items. I tend to return to the same sellers if I get an item that was as advertised and good customer service.

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life. kaptainmyke private msg quote post Address this user
Does not look like a shill auction at all.

@rckstr1253 What you are seeing is probably just auto-bids, one had their max bid set to $660 and the other person's was higher...probably $700 which just put him to $670 to win it.

Shills usually don't have triple digits feedback.
