What do you think?? Looks fishy to me...They looks like exactly the same particular bottle!!

The winner on the first auction has a feedback rating of only 9. The first auction ended Nov 11 so I suspect he did not pay and the seller relisted the bottle. The second place bidder on the first one is also bidding on the relisted bottle. That's how I see it.

This doesn't appear to be the case , the high bidder was 'morrow1972' who has won 7 bottles from this seller over the last month and the seller left positive feedback stating it was a "Fast Payment". I'm guessing he may have more than one of these and is doing the smart thing and listing them one at a time for full profit...

I feel this is a classic case of shill bidding. it is the same bottle. The winner only bids on this sellers auctions, 210 bids in the last thirty days and 99% the same seller. Usually, the biggest tip off to shill bidding is immediately relisting the bottle. Could it legitimate? Maybe, but my gut tells me it is a shill bidder.

"I gave money back as his wife didnt want him to buy it. thanks jay"

And just because the sell said so doesn't make it true, I believe very little about what the seller says. What is he supposed to say, "oh, I used a shill bidder and relisted"?

another classic word is " I lost contact with the buyer & he didn't pay."
If I were the seller (since i'am a very honest person) i'll say "Well shill was used & nobody have balls to outbid my shill so I relist it, & waiting for another sucker."[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]


I was wondering why the 2nd winner didn't pay for it?? I don't get it.

Or perhaps he is just looking for his bottle value information, cheaper then bottle appraisal perhaps?
