I was planning on bidding on this lot until the last few days when it went crazy high. It sold for roughly $280 US and now has been relisted. Maybe shill bidding?

I was in temptation to bid on it, because i was interested only in the Pink Ganesha.
Then I would have been able to resell the double MIMP.
However the price had already been climbed over the $ 100, when I had checked, therefore I have preferred don't bid on it.
I have noticed the auction re-listed, with the recent cheating of this seller, probably an high last bid from the same seller with another account or a friend.
It will be a good motivation to avoid the auction.
I agree. I wanted a couple of the Series 3, but now I am going to avoid the lot.

is $276 "crazy high"? According to the seller, there's 115 figures in the lot, four of which are Series 3 and one blue Great Beast premium.
If we value the 110 common figures at $1 each (I don't, but some do) then that means about $50 each for the Series 3s and $15 for the Great Beast.

There is usually a bulk discount on figures, so yeah to me that would be crazy high. Or at least at the high end of the spectrum. Series 3 and the promos are reasonable at your price.
But I really have more of an issue with the immediate re-listing than the sales price. Seems fishy, especially given the high bidder only has bid on this auction recently. Might be nothing though.

I agree that the re-listing is strange and raises suspicion, but that price didn't seem all that unrealistic to me because of the Series 3.
I musty be blind cause I don't see the series 3. Haha
I spot Leviathan, Jimmy, Snowman and Blemmyea. It's like MIMP "Where's Waldo."

Ok, to me, this looks like a case of shill bidding and you should report it to Ebay.
So anytime you suspect shill bidding on an auction that has ended, click on the bids and review the bid history.

So you would click where it says "29 bids."
Next, it will display who and when bids were issued, unless it was private.

You can click on each bidder and it will list some interesting info:
For example, by clicking on the winning bidder, we see that they have made only 1 bid in the last 30 days.

Oh, and it was on this particular auction.
With the item resurfacing, we know the bid was retracted. You can file a report, but Ebay isn't always proactive in giving a shit.
Anyway, sorry if you already knew this info.
Don't tell my wife I bought more toys...

Yeah I knew it, but it is helpful to get the information out there. I usually don't report stuff on Ebay, because of what you said in the last paragraph. I've only seen them do anything once of the many times I used to report violations.
