Suspicious bidding?

[hemihampton]

Does this bidding look odd? http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=221460006430&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565

Maybe but the bottle and label combo strike me a more suspicious for some reason.

The bidding would pi-- me off if I was that winning bidder and that other guy ran me up like that, but I have had it happen to me, just not that blatant. AND that looks like a beer bottle to me with paper labels stuck to it, not heavy enough glass to be a carbonated soda water hhmmmmmmmmm.......

If you look at the bid times, the winning bid of $1000 was placed on June 10. All other bids were placed on June 12 and 13. The person running up the bid was trying to figure out what the current bid was because HIS bid was never enough. Unless I am looking at this the wrong way?

I think you are right. The label looks fake to me.

Starts at $25. Goes to $1,000. Woof.

Very true. I saw this bottle a while ago and couldn't believe that somebody was bidding $200 for it. The label looks fake. And, not even a good fake. Should have calibrated that printer....

I look at it this way. Since I know the high bidder is the Sheihk, Maybe that bidder or seller knew it too. And if you know that then you know the Sheihk can't be outbid. I think, I'm pretty certain, from my research & from what I've seen people are just screwing with the shiehk & puposely upping him with no real intentions to buy. Thats what I think.

I got the answer to that. A Brewing Co. Like mine pictured below. Why? Coke always outsold Pepsi. SO, Pepsi got the great Idea to Package Pepsi in a 12 oz. bottle at the same 5 cents as the 6 oz Coke. People started Buying Pepsi because you could buy twice as much for same price as Coke. As a result Pepsi outsold Coke for the first time. They would use any bottle available including brewery beer bottles. LEON.
