Go up one level in this thread
>It could be a shill bidder as the bidding stops as soon as the increment of $20 >a bid ends. The bidder can safely do this as there is still another bid by the >German bidder but now he is sure to sell high. while all of the possibilities discussed in this thread are certianly plausable i subscribe to this one the most it just has my antennae up having fun with an auction is one thing,,but over 60 bids?? if i were the lead bidder i would rescind my bid right now and alert Ebay even though i might have put in a large max(which is never a good idea so many days before) this is simply abnormal ok,if i was bid up in the closing seconds,well thats life,but to be bid up like this,,days before the auction ends,and by a bidder with no feedback and just registered the same day as the bidding? i dont think so.. Best Steve
