Re: [FWDLK] Fwd: [FWDLK] 58 Fury E-BAY #330201262949

Gary,

 

I agree.  The bidding history indicates to me that there was a fair amount of shill bidding going on.  In particular, there was one bidder with near zero feedback who put in about 10 bids with $500 increments between about $13000 and $18000 (I presume the latter number because the bidding never got that high.), all within a few minutes.  Then, about one day before the end of the auction, after some apparently legitimate bidders entered the bidding, all of those bids were withdrawn or cancelled.  It looked pretty fishy to me.  But then, maybe the shill bidding captured a legitimate bidder.

Hi Guys,

  Before we get too existed about the 58 Fury price as legit, I have to throw my 2 cents in. As an e-bayer with 4163 feedbacks at 100% positive, this auction should be looked ay very carefully.  Go into the bid history, there was a number of high bids by people with very few feedbacks. Some of these bidders made several bids over the top of their own bid and there were also a couple of retractions/cancellations of bids. The seller recently bought the car for a quick resale and has a feedback of 97.3. I wouldn't be surprised to see this Fury for sale again soon with the statement that the buyer reneged on the deal.
