how to spot shill bidding?

[badbaz77]

Hi all

Only just become aware of this but i was the 2nd highest bidder at £80 quid, wanting this to add to the ofter 3 foxes in the garage.

I actually want this for my daughter and even though i am in yorkshire, drcarlos lives nearby and already said he would collect.

Bit gutted if i am honest, as i did want his bike and also if made aware by the seller when he had issues with the winning bidder, he would have known no postage was needed.

I have contacted him, but looks like i have missed out and the search goes on for my daughters new bike.

Just another thing, my other half also put the 4th highest bid in at £72.

I love this thread.

So we've all been busy contemplating nothing. All a bit shilly?

Once again the word of the chopper is ....................... insert expletive of your own choosing.

I was right. Doesn't pay to be so defined in your pronouncements.

I love these emoticons :roll:

Don't include me in the mob. Some aren't as quick to judge as others. I stand by my posts.

Why not? Tony Blair lynched Iraq over non existent WMD. We're just amateurs.

Is that the royal 'we' or the usual singular success and collective failure?

 

[Chopper the ex Copper]

The Royal 'we', because I wasn't invited to Gulf fisticuffs second time around, and because I never voted for that Government either.

I was thinking more of your earlier judgement on this thread. Not misdirecting it into a larger and very different issue.

hopefully 'we' live and learn. And perhaps occasionally apologise.
