Truly moronic bidding

[Anonymous]

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130651415432?ss ... 1423.l2649 It will be interesting to see what the bidding on this jacket looks like at the end. The guy with the three feedback can't allow any out bidding, not even for 24 hours. I wish this guy bid up everything I have sold.

Sorry to late to edit, I mean truly uneducated bidding.

I hope the Aero fit him well

I was watching that one and wondered why it went up so fast with five+ days left.
Either a nOOb or a schill. Either way, ugh.

Shill...

They generally are proportionate to the seller feedback.

Seller <500 - 1-10 for the shill
Seller <1000 - 10-20 for the shill
Seller >1000 - 25+ for the shill(s)

Most of the smart folk use their mates to bid it up..

Sorry, for some reason my speel-chekker let me down.
But yes, looks about right.

 

[ButteMT61]

And what a miracle - another bidder with a feedback of "1" just bumped it again - twice!
I'm thinking of contacting eBay about my suspicions with this guy. Has anyone ever done that?

ha ha
you think the feedback 1 guy is the seller?
give the feedback 1 guy a break

 

[ButteMT61]

Two bidders, low feedback? Not buyin' it. I've been buying and watching jackets for years, and never seen that one before...

Looks like we have another rookie with a one feedback that wants to be number one for the day. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[ButteMT61]

I reported on it. Total BS, or a wonderful "coincidence"!
I smell a rat. A Joisey rat!

It looks very suspicious to me.

 

[ButteMT61]

It looks very suspicious to me.

Well, let's see if eBay does anything. Today alone they've racked up 10 bids. I think it's a crock, but who knows...

 

[Flyderf]

It does look suspicious, but not an unrealistic price for an Aero.

 

[ButteMT61]

The price isn't the issue - it's fair for sure. But the bidding is very "curious".

711.00 in my humble opinion OVER SOLD.

 

[ButteMT61]

Yep - I was in at $645US. When it went over that I said no way...
Very odd auction.

Happy to report that the guy ("1") is on TFL now. Looks like he was just new, and got carried away. I'm not going to tell him he paid too much - 'cause really, he didn't if he likes the jacket and it fits him. Here's the thread where he comes out! :lol:
I feel a bit better - but the other new guy with "9" and less than 30 days, is now bidding on the McCoys too - and totally different sizes...either I'm gettin' paranoid, or something is off. Maybe paranoid - could be a collector or a flipper...

711.00 in my humble opinion OVER SOLD.

Maybe.
But...don't see this makers jackets on eBay in this size that often....somebody new to the realm of A2's ....probably not all that bad.
Hoping the winner ends up very pleased with it.

It was a case of an eager rookie bidder. Traded PM's on TFL. He got the Aero yesterday and seems pleased.
He is going after the McCoy if his funds hold out.
