Thanks for that opinion Steve. Someone accused me of trying to get people to "bite" on my previous message, but I wasn't successful. That may be true where my message was placed but at least I got people to start thinking about it. First of all, I was very reluctant to put names on this board because it could border on slander if not done right. Since some of the names were mentioned by others, that opened the door for me. I tried to do it in a way where each person could check on his own and come to his or her own conclusion. Secondly, I'm going to tell you all what really made me sick, literally. Several times in the past few months, certain items on Ebay were listed at a starting price of appx. $15. Being listed so often, many times these items either were not bid on or went for the starting price. Sometimes they actually got multiple bids. Just recently a "newbie" was bidding on these same items. A bidder that I'm calling a shill (who had ample opportunity to purchase them at $15 each) systematically "pushed" that newbie until seven of those $15 items were sold for an average of over $40 each. Now, that made me REALY, REALLY disgusted. What is that "newbie" going to think of this hobby when the truth is discovered?
