Screwy Ebay Bidders? Possible Shills?

[JSO]

This Yo Eddy has been listed a couple times. I always chuckle when I read his description.

But....Check out the bids?????

Then I noticed he re-listed and the same thing is happening again?!?!?

If it is legit...it seems awfully amatuerish of the bidders

I've reported people for some fairly obvious shill bidding (people can be stupid).

Only one picture of a bike like that?

Same bidder bouncing it up the minimum at a time on the relisting - but a very active bidding history on lots of other bike stuff.

Dipshit prose aside, if the guy paid $7,000 for that bike back in that day he's surely an idiot.

I agree...subsequently, some sellers ask way to much when it comes to price, there is a used Fat Chance on Bay right now and its been there a while, seller wants 6k for it...ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREEKIN MIND, the bike isnt worth half that (2.5k tops, and I think thats even a wee bit high)? Good luck seller.

Define 'Shill Bidding' please.............

I think he means using a 2nd EBay account to knock the budding up, in the home that the genuine bidder will want it so bad they'll bid even more, or their auto bid will keep jacking up the price.

Downside is they can often end up winning their own item, hence items with such suspicious bidding history being re listed.
