I know what shill bidding is.
If the stated offer is too high for you, then don't bid. What the fuck do you care if someone is shill bidding or not?
I care, because it's a shitty thing to do.
Quote:Either you're willing to beat the proposed bid or you're not, shill bidding be damned.
I think I've demonstrated in my previous post why there's no equivalency between "what you're willing to pay after shill bidding" and what an item is actually worth.
Quote:And there's no proof that anyone is indeed shill bidding.
Of course there's no proof and there never will be. That's why so many douchebags get away with it on ebay, because it's almost impossible to catch if they're careful enough.
There is however, lots of circumstantial evidence:
-Multiple posters, including some who are very well known on khyber, saying the prices are BS.
-Previous scroll selling for 9 FRDS, whereas the "high" bid is 20+. And if were to take his word for that, even higher (25+?), since he's no longer posting bids.
-No one coming forward to say they bid even remotely close to that.
-He's a fucking douche with an inability to read properly and a misunderstanding of what the word "logic" means. Note this is not an ad hominem.
