[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 513183, member: 2"] I haven't seen the discussions about grading, but there's always been a joke about Bryan's Toys getting preferential grades, and as Mark says I've seen some ridiculous discreprencies over the years (there's a thread on them somewhere.) I don't have a lot of sympathy for it as grading is clearly subjectie anyway, one of the reasons I don't care about it. As for the shill bidding, one of them has claimed eBay allowed them to shill bid on their auctions to save them having to remove bids by 'suspect' bidders. One of the wilder claims I've heard over the years so I hope they have solid evidence to back this up! If not lying about it rather than coming clean should finish off their reputations. [/QUOTE]
