Certainly, it might not be wise to take just one 
person's word that [ryvius] might not be all that 
clean.  But when 2 or more people are indicating 
that he has a history of shill bidding, I would 
definitely think twice about bidding on his 
auctions.  (Of course, if you can't commute to 
Animate then you're still stuck dealing with 
folks like him.)

Alriight, here's the other post I referred to:

RX78GP02AGUNDAM -

"I've heard that this seller, ryvius, has been 
busted on eBay before for shill bidding on cels 
and doujinshi last year under a different name.  
The only difference now is the ID and first name 
has changed, but, the address and last name 
matches with the shill bidding seller who got 
busted.

As Animate, the best way to avoid ebay to get to 
their product is to contact the source like 
Animate to not only sell in their store, but 
online has well.  Most places don't charge more 
online than what they charge at their stores.  
I'd give that a try before giving up."
