David Horne Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'd say it's a wind up, check the bidders names! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 From: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=290198278732 (top of page) eBay has changed how bid history information is displayed for higher-priced items. To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and protect our members from fraudulent emails, only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID in bid history. Other members will see anonymous names, such as x***y very expensive... and with shipping to the uk this would be unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgh Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I am glad I have one. I wish I would have bought more of them when I had the chance. I would be cashing in right now. I am glad I have an inch too. They have seem to not be for sale any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philthy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 That's crazy... looks like I should buy some york legacy collection bells to chop lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Styles Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 If I had anything bigger than a 40, I'd post it on ebay right now, cash in, and rebuy later. These prices won't hold. $10/lb for a piece of cast iron makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 That's just ludicrous. And I agree with David, I think it's a wind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What's a wind up? Is that when you have a buddy keep bidding on it to drive the price up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) What's a wind up? Is that when you have a buddy keep bidding on it to drive the price up? Yup, pretty much at least I'm pretty sure that's what David was referring to, i know that's what i was talking about Edited January 17, 2008 by vikingsrule92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobb1320 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Bottom line,That price is freakin rediculous. The bidders are out of there skull man, .IMO anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroviking Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Bottom line,That price is freakin rediculous. The bidders are out of there skull man, .IMO anyway. Given the fact that all bidders have the same nonsensical naming convention, and are bidding in a very uncharacteristic way, this seems like it is not legit.

twig Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What's a wind up? Is that when you have a buddy keep bidding on it to drive the price up? Wind up means jape or prank; it means (iI assume) David thinks the whole thing has been fabricated to create controversy in forums like this.

David Horne Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 What I'm saying is that with the similar ebay usernames (check the bidding history) and the zero feedbacks I somewhat doubt that will get paid for. Jedd, When someone bids an item up for a friend, or even the person does it themselves with another username, this practice is called Shill bidding.

egg_uk Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 the stars in the middle of the ebay names is a new thing that ebay has been doing so that you cannot see their actual id, but just their feedback rating. so you arent seeing their actual id, and so teh names could all be different. if people dont understand what im saying, if you try to click on their name, the bidders, nothing happens, whereas normally it would go to a page about them. yea the price is crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I want a 100# side BLOB. But I won't pay that much for it. This is cheating and using people's wants and needs. And people do pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
