Nancy Drew Book Lot Matte Picture Cover Mystery Stories Item #300274857260
This was for a lot of 44 Nancy Drew books: 24 early picture covers and 20 tweeds with jackets. Here is a screen capture of the bidding history:
The two highest bidders were both buying to resell. If you do not know who they are, search for Nancy Drew books and you can find them very easily. I believe that search results can be customized so that feedback displays in the results, so if that is done, the IDs can be found fast. They both have many books up for sale right now under the IDs used to bid on this auction. Notice how much lower the lot would have closed for if neither had been involved. Actually, it still would have closed for around the same amount because several other people would have bid above $100.00 if not for the two whose bids were placed. When certain resellers do not bid, others do.
Here is another example:
57 hardcover Nancy Drew Books 1-56 plus Rare Cook Book Item #200279226277
This complete set of Nancy Drew books closed at $110.50, which is a very good price. Here is the bidding history:
I know who the top two bidders are, so this one was definitely bought to resell. It would be a bit hard for others to figure out who they are, but I do know both IDs so there is no doubt.
Here is another listing:
LOT OF 13 DANA GIRLS MYSTERIES STORIES-CAROLYN KEENE! Item #120334267705
This lot contained 13 white spine Dana Girls picture covers, including Hundred-Year, Mountain Peak, and Witch's Omen. Here is the bidding history:
The two highest bidders are resellers. The second highest bidder is someone who sells complete sets of various series books such as Connie Blair, Judy Bolton, and Vicki Barr. Take that as a hint as to who it is.
I could give many more examples. I have seen listings in which the highest five to six bidders are all resellers, and I have seen listings in which the only bidders are all of the resellers. It is rather amusing to watch.
