Andre81 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I don't see shill bidding here. The bid history of the bidders looks ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I don't see shill bidding here. The bid history of the bidders looks ok. ???????? I see two brand new accounts using multiple bids while bidding up an item to a price point much higher than normal. Schill bidding is my first impression. Is there something I'm missing?

Schill bidding is my first impression. Is there something I'm missing? The bidder with (0) feedback has bid on games from 30 different sellers. The bidder with (1) feedback has also bid on items from multiple sellers. So this is probably not a case of shill bidding, but of two noobs bidding to much on something.

20ohm20 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The winning bidder this obviously bought this for that Video Pinball cart and will likely end up tossing the rest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEgamer Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The winning bidder this obviously bought this for that Video Pinball cart and will likely end up tossing the rest. Nah, it was obviously for that E.T cart. The rest is pretty much worthless compared to that gem. I agree that no shill bidding was going on. Every time I hear someone joining ebay, they never understand the concept of proxibidding. This causes them to keep bidding the lowest amount until they reach their limit which looks a lot like shill bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wolfe Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 shill bidding can so easily backfire. it does look a little off but I have seen bid wars over less valuable items go higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
