well you have if you have bought anything from our Greek friend "skordox" who has a very active bidder/buyer (kkmonikk) with a zero feedback rating who since 15th April has bid on 74 of his items and nobody elses.
Who can skordox and kkmonikk be I wonder!

You only have to watch Sisters (or any fav band) auctions for a while to see shill-bidding-a-go-go. The expanded 'my ebay' for ended items is a God-send.
As a seller, 80% of the time I'll make a small (unassisted) profit. 10% of the time I'll fall of my chair with laughter and then put down a deposit on a new yacht. 10% of the time I'll end up crying and wishing I could die.
But, I now understand that eBay
is a lottery, no matter how scientifically you plan your auctions. Taking that fact into account, it doesn't need w
ankers, as mentioned by TH, manipulating the prices.

Just going to prove these LPs -really- aren't worth that much. I still stand by my "£25 is the upper limit".

Isn't it against eBay rules, not to mention illegal, to artificially inflate the price of an auction by having an accomplice bid on it?
