Would almost hold the record with the "Spottem" or the "$5000" Project Space Invaders. If you think the auction is sus, then you won't want to know about the sellers conduct "behind the scenes". The auction is simply advertising..
Advertising for what??
If there is a reserve then list the damn thing at the BIN price you want...
If an auction, then we all know that most of the action happens at the last few secs when we are all sitting here waiting to snipe the thing. Game continually gets pulled at the 24hr mark, so we never get to a price.. although I think it may have sold once only to be relisted again.
Selling pinballs at inflated prices. A pinball buddy tried to buy a Meteor the seller listed (did the right thing and asked for clearer photos etc), and the fact was clear that the seller has one figure in mind, which is "off eBay". Typical dealer style eBay auction (was pulled and most likely re listed). The only way to stop this is to report the auction if it is pulled before the 24 remaining time period (again).
