99 cent auctions are usually bidded up by "friendly bidders" to around the $1300 amount etc.
But Caveman, I am pretty sure the original post was meant to claim the exact opposite point - that these auctions were bid up by fake bidders trying to interfere with the auctions, rather than being shilled.
The point I was making, is that 99 cent auctions mostly dont work. Whether you let it run 100 percent honest or it gets some shill bidding.
And heres the best point, if a seller gets his mates to shill or friendly bid the item up n up n up, and when they just push the bidding that little bit too far, and then they blow the genuine bidders out of the auction, and then the seller wins his own auction, or one of his mate wins it accidentally, what are some sellers/they going to claim next ?
1. FAKE EBAY BIDDERS
2. BUYER REFUSED TO PAY - RELISTED
List pins with "Buy it Now" with "Make an Offer" and you cancel out all the bullshit. Now, do you see where i was going.
Buy it now auctions with make an offer cant be fiddled with like the 99 cent auction time wasting con jobs.
