Me thinks he is bidding his own auctions!

[diggs130]

looks just a little strange if you ask me.same high bidder on all 3 of his auctions and very new ebayer at that!

And to top it off he wants 10.00 to ship 1 game priority.17.00 express.

 

Same buyer bought this item

looks as if he left the feedback for this at just a minute after auction was over.

Yep looks that way.

 

They seem to bid on the same auctions too, when it's not this seller & buyer, but where both are bidders, at least 5 that I checked.. I don't understand that, as it costs him more money as it will up the bid if he changes accounts.

Nobody ever accused these shill bidders of being smart.

Good lord. You'd think he'd come up with a buyer nickname that didn't bear a suspicious resemblance to his seller one.

 

Mind you, with the cost of reserves these days I can almost understand -- at least, with what a reserve auction costs I can see shill bidders cropping up more frequently.

 

(I was gonna put a reserve on my CV lot -- 'til I realized that a $250 reserve over two categories would cost $14 ... eesh!)

They refund the reserve fees, but adding a reserve ups the actual listing fees as well. So you may get $5 of $14 back if reserve is met.

 

 

 

Looks like this seller lifted all his scans from Atari Age as well

Anyone want to ask this guy if he can produce some more pictures of his stuff that don't look suspiciously like the AA file footage?

 

Hex.

[ There are other thoughts, but they have been kept off the keyboard... EWWW! ]

But its not working for him as he's the only one buying from himself!Maybe down the road it will when he gives himself positive feedback for his items.I think he's just an IDIOT

I think he's just an IDIOT

 

Charging that much in shipping is enough to prove that. You dont need to figure out he is shill bidding.
