Don't believe it for a second fellas, So many people are playing games with eBay these days it aint funny. Many people have 3 or 4 accounts and computer and just sit around all day eBayin. If they cant get their big money they buy it with another account at an astronomicle price to make people believe they sold it. That way the Item never moves just starts again a month later under another account. Its call price fixing. Its been going on for decades. Don't let the shmucks fool ya.

I've been an Ebay user for almost ten years now...it started out really great...made the owner a billionare. Is seems like it has now become a haven of scam and con artists. It's getting hard to believe anything on there anymore.

but...doesn't the seller have to pay his % of the sell amount if the auction ends and reserve is met? I think he does...so wouldn't make sense to drive it up and have his 2nd or 3rd ID win, then still have to pay the %. The fees are automatically deducted from the sellers account...

the guy didn't bid up himself, when you see a person's Id come up a couple of times after each other it's because someone else is trying to bid but keeps getting outbid because the other person has a higher max. price, in that case ebay bids for him automatically and raised the other persons bid by a small amount (depending of the running price of the auction)....soo, it was that 0 feedback guy, he then overbid him after a few tries and then the winning bidder wanted to oubid 0 feedback boy and have it a 1st try and failed, hence you see another bid of the 0 feedback dude...then he tried again and won. Some people here don't know how this system works.

His username was what...796067 (something like that...too lame to look it up), could be he owns those years of vettes and is looking for those caps and never bid on anything before..as far as I know everyone has started w/ 0 feedback.

Speaking of Ebay madness. Can this be right or is it a typo?
