Personally, I find all of this hilarious. ebay has been shady for as long
as I have watched it. I gave up seriously bidding on "auctions" years ago. Seems every time I bid and ended out the top bidder it would stay that way till the auction ended and then suddenly someone beat me by a dollar. Without a neutral auctioneer the whole system bogus. Now, if I see a buy it now and I think the price is reasonable I buy it. When I bid on an auction I know going in that I am not going to win so all I really seem to do is drive the price up for someone else. And I really no longer care. bill
