Note the 'round' numbers, which aren't intended to win...they are just the reserve the seller SHOULD have used. Seller IS clever, however, and willing to 'win' his own auctions.
Fun, huh?
Do me a favor, if you care, and report this...it'd be much appreciated.

A shill is someone who, either by creating a dummy account, or using friends and family, bids on their own items to raise the final price.Will wrote:What's a shill?
It's against eBay policy, and it's against the law.
But....unless a seller is as blatantly obvious as this, it's not always easy to detect.
