Bonkers. Two very keen bidders that got carried away or 'shilling'. It's hard to tell really

That is mental.

personally, I don't believe that there is as much shill bidding on ebay as some believe, but in this case it looks transparent.

The under bidder drove the price up & has only bid on that item in the last month. Very suspicious.

The 100% thing should not be regarded to seriously. For instance if you only bid on one item in a thirty day period, your bid history will show as 100% with that seller.

The winner of that item n***I has quite a high feedback count with only 6% activity in the last 30 days, the high feedback points towards a more genuine account. As shill accounts often have low feedback numbers, as they are sometimes just opened as a second account for the purpose of shilling.

e***3 bid was never bettered as n***I stopped bidding at £360 his last bid was at 16.25hrs, e***3 proxy was placed at 15.53hrs.

E***3 bid was a proxy bid and won by one bid, they might have had an even higher proxy limit set.

Having said all that it seems a ludicrous ammount for a bus wheel as we used to call them, threw a few of them in the skip over the years lol

I paid £10 or £15 for my copy only a few years ago. Someone is optimistic!

Plage is beach.

BTW, Mer is sea, where as Merde is shit, you don't want to get those two muddled up :lol:

J'ai plongé dans la merde bleu clair
