wilf Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 It was at £510 with 10 mins to go, then it jumped straight to £1020! Surely they wont end up paying that amount. Whoever bid that much must be uber brain dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 My guess would be that someone offered him cash outside the auction, but instead of closing the listing he just got 2 mates to bid it out of sensible prices. Pretty sure you can't close the auction within a certain time of the end can you? (I don't use E-bay, so don't really know). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, u cant close it within 24 or 48 hours (cant remember off the top of my head). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to get it anyway, it'll be a mistake. Two people's mistakes. Two separate people must have bid over 1k. Edited October 5, 2012 by JT!

Muel Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Possibly. I've missed out the decimal before, ended up bidding £1000 on something instead of £10.00. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Maybe it's a stolen bike and the person who it belongs to is doing a cash on collection type of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aimed at the guy who is supposedly selling a bike that he's using his friend mr stabby knife to get.

Jolfa Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Ladies and gentleman, may I introduce; shill bidding. If that was a genuine bid and/or the money materialises, I will eat my own face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah wouldn't think it was that, he'd have to pay the fees on the item which on a winning bid of over a grand would be outrageous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Bidding Details Bidder Information Bidder: m***m( 6 ) Feedback: 100%Positive Item description: Item Title: Echo Trials Bike Bids on this item: 7 30-Day Summary Total bids: 9 Items bid on: 3 Bid activity (%) with this seller: 77% Bid retractions: 0 Bid retractions (6 months): 0 77% bit suspicious to me, i'd say some shill bidding going on there.......
