What is up?

[nhpharm]

I thought this was a $300 bottle in good condition...

Something fishy is what is up....the seller has 1 feedback, from when he bought the same exact bottle he is auctioning. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111053565049#ht_50wt_1202
He paid $100 for it, now someone with NO feedback is running up the price. I guess with this sheikh buying everything up, morals and values are out the window and anything goes!

What a scam!

 

[celerycola]

$100 is over priced for a good one.

 

[epackage]

You should be asking "what is up with the high bidder?"

 

[cowseatmaize]

If I could figure out how or cared anymore I'd report possible fraudulent activity. []

 

[epackage]

What part is fraud? The high bidder has placed an outrageous price to start, it's not like someone keeps outbidding him by a $1 and retracting bids to see where his limit is...

 

[cowseatmaize]

Agreed but the high bidder keeps getting bumped by the one with 0 FB. That one is constantly raising the ante. Sounds to much like a shill to me.
Again though, I don't care.

 

[RICKJJ59W]

People are stupid someone will buy it.

 

[epackage]

If it is shill bidding it's one hell of a stupid way to go about it. I know a guy that got caught doing it but he would bid a huge amount like he made a mistake, say $10,000, and then he would know the high bidders max bid. Then he would retract his 'accidental bid' and bid just under the high bidders max, either way the high bidder is the guy hittin' the crack pipe in my opinion...[]

Short story: The high bidder is the Qatar guy and the (1) feedback person is a fake making him pay terrible prices.
