to be fair, barfo and rubycon had their post count adjusted to a lower number.

I think I might be the victim of some shady bidding on eBay.

Amiga keyboards usually go for about $20, maybe $30. There is a new keyboard up for auction and it was going for $10 and I put a max bid of $50.

Some guy then started bidding on it and magically stopped at $49.99 after several bids. I mean, if you wanted something and your bid at $49.99 wasn't accepted, wouldn't you think the guy that keeps beating your bid probably bid $50 and therefore, bid $51?

I don't know what, if anything, I can do about it.

Yep, noticed it last night too.

Over the years, I've heard all sorts of complaints that "seller" uses shill bidders. I've never heard, "and this is how we stopped it permanently"

Yeah, I just think it is super suspicious. I mean, who stops at $49.99 after probably placing 10 bids in a row?

Of course, their argument would be "Why didn't he stop at $24.99 instead of risking having he winning bid if you bid a max of $25?"

Supposed to be doing some ribbon cutting shit today. And everyone else just left, leaving me as only one here.
One of our other guys was supposed to be grabbing food & he been MIA all day.
We are supposed to start at any minute.
Fuck.

Yeah, odd. I know I've autobid +$xx.01 to try to get over a hump, never a -.01.

And honestly, if the guy bid $50.01, I wouldn't overbid him. If I had his contact info, I'd send him a message and tell him.
