Dodgy seller?

[gatfb]

This lot was sold in Feb for £390 to a buyer with zero feedback

I tried putting in a link but unfortunately it will not let me link it up. But if you can bothered click on advance put in Chelsea badges, completed listings then look for highest price and it's the second batch.

This lot is still running and recently went to £400 when the under bidder with zero feedback pushed the top bidder to £400. The top bidder then withdrew his bid after I suspect smelling something fishy and currently the top bid is £102.

Dodgy as ffffff

[goonerboy]

and the "zero feedback" bidder has come back in again. Interestingly they have bid on only 8 items but all of them are items by the same seller

sadly ebay is full of "bidding up" activities, either through shill bidding or two acquaintances bidding on each other's items to run up the price.

'Zero feedback' has bid it up to £400 again now.

He's learnt his lesson though, he's been careful not to go above £399 this time.

The way he went about it shows he is not the brightest. I expect to see them relisted in the not too distant future.

[rob71]

All very odd!

But just wondered if they are genuine badges, with some value?

[gatfb]

Ended. Unsold.

I don't get it.

That lad with zero feedback seemed dead keen, and had already shown he was prepared to whack £400 bids in.

Puzzling.
