I have been looking for a clear Wraith for a while now and with all of the online retailers sold out I am forced to navigate the channels of ebay one.In my multiple searches I have seen many come and go and a few slip right through my fingers at the last second..I was watching an auction recently for a wraith that was reasonably priced and in the last day it went from 31.00 to 51.00, at the same time there was another auction for an AFA graded Wraith that went from 51.00 to 71.00, both by the same seller ,now these are both relisted by the seller.Is this a case of shill bidding? I put this up as a warning to anyone who may read this do not get into a bid war over these two items .

I doubt it, this guy been selling Clear Wraiths for months, I think he had an eBay store "auction" with a quantity of 9 or so of them.
Easy way to see if the AFA's are relisted is inquire about the AFA serial #, see if it sells & comes back.

It could be that or the original buyer reneged on the deal. Still, I would proceed with caution

the pictures for both listings have the same serial #.I thought it may have been buyers renegging but on 2 auctions at the same time seemed unlikely .Anyway I will proceed with caution.thanks for the advice

i got my afa 9.25 wraith from him. nice guy. if you buy 2 afa's from him you
get a few free carded 25th figures. does that mean he's a stand up guy on his auctions?? I dunno. i was actually thinking of selling my afa wraith. but there's so many of them on ebay i'm not sure i'd have any luck selling mine.

Some sellers use the same pics for similar auctions. A practice that shouldn't happen, but some sellers cut corners to save time. Some buyers being the "gotta have it" kind of people they may be, bid on numerous auctions containing the same item. Whichever they win the cheapest they pay for, forgeting the rest.

I agree i sell preorder's but i do not ask for payment till this are in stock or at least enroute to me form the supplier .But this seller is for sure doing fraud i have terapeak and i check his sell ration he only sells 18% of the auction's he put up he is just collecting payment and is going to bail out for sure and leave all his buyer's hanging i have seen it before from carrieco another ebay seller that got knocked off for selling a ton of preorder i know actual hasbro prices and this seller mmatt* plus his other ebay id which is the same seller, is not going to honor those preorders complete scam hope you hisstankers don't get ripped off.
