chaosdsm thanks for the info! Honestly, I am a bit too jaded to trust the “sold” items anymore, as the winning bid could be their alt account or friend trying to jack up the price. Hearing from people that have experience selling similar products gives me a better idea of what the market is truly like. Years ago, eBay, Inc. established the Criminal & Regulatory Investigations Team to promote the safe use of its platforms and to collaborate with local, national and international law enforcement in apprehending and prosecuting criminals. This includes investigating reports from users who report suspected fraudulent bidding. So for example, lets say I bid on 10 auctions from seller zzzzyyyxxxx and I loose all 10, but am the 2nd highest bidder in 4 of the 10. Next day I get a "second chance offer" to buy 3 of those 4 auctions, to me, that suggests fraudulent bidding, and I would then contact the ebay legal team and report my suspicions. Also, if you're signed in, you can see all the bids on the auction, who made them (just part of their ebay name appears), and even the bidders bidding history. Plus, around 60% to 70% of the sold Brazilian Agate, since the first of June, are buy-it-now, best offer, or single bid purchases, so zero room for fraud on those sales as eBay charges a percentage of all sold items...
