kind of funny that BOTH bidders with ZERO feedback, just signed up after the auction stared and on the same day no less!!!!

Similar deal with this one, Great Username!!!

I don't think either are shill bidding.

The 1st auction, the buyer is stupid. Perhaps refreshing their bid w/o understanding the system. Doesn't appear they were inflating the price....just stupid consecutive bids. Still way below what is needed to make it a "hot item"...and the winning bid is way below the % of the last minute mark-ups by other buyers.

The 2nd....who are you saying in shilling? Old snowboards? BOL3 had the winning bid prior to Old Snowboard jacking it up.....

Hopefully its not. The gmaltin from the first auction is also bidding on an old pair of burton race plates I put up. Right now he has my high bid with 3 days left.
