itsralph Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Anyone have a theory on what the hell the first 19 bids on this item I am selling are all about? Makes no sense to me. http://offer.ebay.co...em=190658233047 Edit: one bidder entered 19 separate bids before anyone bid for a total of 52 cents in increments, so it looked like there was a bidding war. It irritated me enough to cancel all 19 of the bids, so this link is no longer relevent. Edited March 26, 2012 by itsralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Skynet was trying to secure your game to further its machinations of world domination, but had to back out when the bidding broke six bucks. T-1000s ain't cheap, y'know. Edited March 26, 2012 by MagitekAngel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking they got their peanut butter sanwich stuck on the keyboard but clearly the pattern of 1 cent bid increments followed by random increments ending in a 52 cent hike is some kind of code.

Rybags Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ban/report them. Probably using sniping software. About time they did something about the practice, but as most know they don't give a shit about anything other than their profits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I think some people believe that if an Item has a ton of bids from the same person they must have a crazy high number on it and decide not to bid. Doesnt work often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you bid what you are willing to pay for something, it should make zero difference if people are sniping or not.
