What's going on here????? - 3/7/2006 8:57:14 PM    Humabdos   Posts: 446 Joined: 6/13/2004 From: Greenville Texas The Blackest land whitest people Status: offline Check out this Hutchinson I bought on E-bay. Notice anything strange with the bidding? It looks like This Guy Alslager and Stoncaninq where up to some shilling or bid fixing. Both have lost their E-bay memberships. Take a look at Alslager feedback. I'm somewhat new to E-bay and bottle collecting and I have always wondered how much funny business goes on with bottle bids on E-bay. Jfcutter is a member of this forum and I'm sure didn't have anything to do with this. I bid against him all the time on Oregon bottles. I think maybe he reported these guys. I was going to but forgot too. Also I was happy with the price and the bottle. Maybe nothing was going on and I am just paranoid I don't know. BTW> The bottle is really nice with great whittle and color. The base chips are barely noticeable. I love it.

Dont know what was up with that seller's account,seems a bit odd. Usually when there is money business its on expensive items. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 2

The other guy has nothing but good feed back so it 's probably just a snafu of some kind. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 3

Check out feedback left for others over 100 feedbacks to Stonecantinq. Also look at the bidding patterns, 4 bid withdraws, every six months a round of bidding then nothing. Just enough time for the bid withdraws to clear. I still think something was up. Glen (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 4

Maybe just a careless or cautious buyer. Maybe just not bright. But you also could be right, could be something wrong. Both names could be the same person just trying to run up the price. You won a great lookin bottle at a good price. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Humabdos) Post #: 5
