Guest Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Its not bout the price, its worth more imo... Its only about the way the guy is bidding...... Edited January 5, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kev John Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) The seller should have had a 10 /15 $ bid increase to stop this stupid time wasting bids IMO Edited January 5, 2013 by soulghost Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Have a look at the made bids...crazy people.... https://www.ebay.com/...d=281045775790 I don't understand Ebay. But, why does e***t keep bidding against himself? Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jhsoulnotts Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Is he bidding against himself? I read it as e***t bidding once low then a****n sticking in their bid high, and then e****t bidding two dollars at a time trying to work out how high a***n had bid. Each time he bids ebay proxy bidding means he is outbid. Think he got fed up at £530 which is where a***n wins the auction. Edit: actually looking at it I cant work it out either - crazy!

Premium Stuff Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I read it as e***t bidding Well, that explains it - if it is ET bidding how would an extra terrestrial know anything about eBay bidding tactics ... or Northern Soul for that matter Cheers Richard 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Premium Stuff Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Here's a similar example It says 24 bids but there are actually only 4 bidders!

Elvisluvs Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I don't know if this is the case or not; the bidder may have been trying to scare/ bluff other potential bidders away by creating a "wow , that's a lot of bids" scenario. -m Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
boba Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The seller should have had a 10 /15 $ bid increase to stop this stupid time wasting bids IMO just fyi, the seller has no control over the bid increments. as the bid amounts get higher, the bid increments get higher -- there is a chart on ebay showing what increments correspond to what bid amounts. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Could it be there is a reserve price which was not met by each of e***t's bids up to the point where the other bidder joins in? I'm no ebay expert but if a reserve hasn't been met aren't you notified you have been outbid - whereby the next 'higher bid' is only the next standard incriment higher and so on until the reserve is met?
