I am sure you are right Jules.

Looking at the number of cars in the history of Bidder 1, he is a dealer too hoping for a bargain. That's most probably why he opened the bidding with over 5 days to go and within minutes of the auction opening and has "topped out" at £207. Must have HUGE travelling expenses??

Bidder 3 seems to have stopped bidding at £500 too, perhaps he also travels by Jumbo jet?

As I mentioned before, these auctions smell of a "rat" because they ALL follow the same pattern. Immediate multiple bidding as soon as the auction opens and then a lull (notice the previously predicted lull now) followed by more bidding pushing the price up near the end. The "traders" drop out and poor muggins wins with an artificial "No Reserve" price thinking he was in a fair and square auction.

If you look at their feedback and then research the winners past auction buys, you do not find a load of dealers. This all adds up to one thing in my book. However, this is all IMHO of course.

The thing is, the vehicles seem genuine and quite reasonable. The prices they go for, are pretty good too at times. However, as I also mentioned, it's the "deceit" that gets my hackles up.

If me or you try and "shill bid" when we sell our garage clear out items, we get all sorts of grief from E-bay. However a large comapny making E-bay lots of money gets away with it. It all sucks in my book.
