anybody else notice all the fake bids on eBay by sellers? I'm talking about those fake bidders who bids increments of $1, most likely the seller's second account driving up prices.
I find it unlikely for 30+ bids on one item. 10-20 seems more realistic with REAL bidders. Just put a high Buy It Now price instead of throwing fake bids!

Thanked: 98 They say" Let the Buyer Beware?"
Many Others say" Let the Seller be Honest" The breakdown of society concerns me.

While I only 'Dabble' at FleaBay as a Buyer (I've never sold anything at FleaBay) I will UP my bid by only a single Dollar. Sometimes a Dollar and a couple of cents. I see no sense of spending more than I need to so I can purchase an item and not necessarily a razor as I've done so for even a Cooking Pot.

Comes down to bidding what you will pay. Whether at the beginning of an auction, or at the end. If you lose by a dollar, you were closer than those you lost by ten. JMO

I rest my case.

I expect Tom's right in his idea above. The sellers other items are a real odd collection, and $210 seems to be one of his favorite numbers. Originally Posted by sharptonn

The sniping bids are really annoying. I missed a 13/16 J. Rogers and Sons by one dollar at the last second. Thought I was gonna get it for $40. There were no bids except mine, till the last millisecond.
Smarter than I look or, not as dumb as I look. Whichever you prefer.

Wasn't me, but do I detect sour grapes, Dave? Originally Posted by ChopperDave
