    Pretty much what I expected from HA. At least at this point. The only real pressure they (or Mike) will likely take seriously, that would get their notice and make them look to do more, would be to hit them where it would hurt... right in the wallet. But, knowing this "community" as I do, I don't see that happening, so this is about all you can expect to happen. It'll all blow over in a couple weeks and folks will go back to their usual buying patterns. That is what HA and Mike are banking on. And my experiences tell me they have valid reasoning to expect such.

     

    :gossip: media coverage would also get peoples attention

     

    Surprised Bleedingcool hasn't posted about this.

  2. I'm pretty sure that no one will disclose the amount of transactions that shill bidding affected. I'm sure it was way more than we think, and the scope spans over a decade. We'll never get that money back, HA will not do a thing about it.

    The more relevant question is even if he says he won't do it again, how can we believe it? I mean, yeah he'll get caught if he posts it back on his site a month later, so he'll obviously be more careful, but I just don't trust the process anymore. I think for me personally, I'll be avoiding HA.
