What's with these Ebay auctions?

[CatskillMike]

The lot sold, then 2 days later it shows up again. It actually sold about a month ago for the very first time. I had it on my watch list. I watch it sell, then it keeps showing up. I asked the seller a question about it, but they don't respond.

Uh, Oh,

Red Flag....

I'm watching two of his auctions.....

[jonjesper]

guessing...

shill bids to get things rolling...no one jumps over his original bid, so he just keeps relisting it.

Although not the smartest move as he has to eat the fees for selling the books...

Unless he files a non-paying bidder claim.

 

Obviously a shill.

I figured a shill, but I didn't want to use the "s" word right away.

I suppose he could neg his own shill and get his FVF back

Actually, I put a watch on it without seeing the pictures first. That picture is so massive it took forever to load on my dial-up, so I kept skipping it and left it on my watch list. I thought the Showcase might have been worth a look, but once I gave the 5 minutes to load the pic, I saw the nasty shape of the book and skipped it.
