Usually, these machines demand $350.00 to $400.00(if you're lucky). I happened to run across this one during it's early stage of bidding. I was surprised by the rather high bidding, so I added it to my watch page to see where it would go. I nearly stroked out at the final price! I contacted the next two highest bidders several days later(yeah, I know, an Ebay no-no) to inquire as to whether they were interested in a machine in similar condition for their top bid. (c'mon, well all do it, or we aren't good capitalists!) Anyway, neither responded, and now it's over a month and neither buyer nor seller has given feedback. Does anyone here feel this is a prime example of "shill bidding?" I dunno, but this stinks in my opinion.

This guy is no dummy. He probably does use a shill but what else is new. It happens at live auction too. There's no way to stop it. All you can do is refuse to get involved when you suspect it.
