Twill cost the buyer another 100 in chainring bolts and rings. Makes it a pricey but rare crank.

Twill cost the buyer another 100 in chainring bolts and rings. Makes it a pricey but rare crank.

Especially since an identical set, with rings and bolts, has been relisted more than once with a $129 starting bid and no bidders. It now finally has one bid, but it makes you wonder about the psychological effect of running up the price on an auction early.

Rock Shox Judy SL!

I thought I had a good chance of buying this one.... I was wrong..... soooo wrong!!

Bit funny though. The auction ended with a price of €176 (I'm sure; I was watching it! ) and now it's €164 :? :?

There's a €1000 bid cancellation two minutes before the auction closed.

I wonder what the winner's maximum bid was...

 

[stumpjumper1990]

I think the winner had a maximum of 175 euro!
Should be under investigation by eBay!

The rings and bolts are not the black ones, and the center caps are not original. Might make a difference, but the cranks themselves are the same as the other set.

That's ebay for you :?

Indeed, that's very sneaky.

He outbids the high bidder by a huge margin, revealing the top bid, then cancels his bid and thirty seconds later bids just under what he now knows to be the first bidder's maximum.

It's not the behaviour of someone who wants to win an auction, but it's not clear whether he's actually a shill bidder or just a sore loser.

This has happened to me so many times I lose count,some sneaky ba***** high bids then cancels his bid and bids again substantially lower,It is called cheating and should be stopped,easy to do if they bar cancelled bids from being re-entered :x

Cheeky Rob Warners! I often win just under my top bid, I'll be checking on this from now on...

Do yo know if there is a way to tell eBay about this?
