Don't you just love a good bidding war?

The only one who wins out on this auction is Pachinko Pallace.:lmao:

[Firewire]

I love that word "Holographic " it is like pure pleasure

[Slotzilla]

I think Milt has the correct price at $249.00

I've been watching P.P.'s auctions and $250 seems to be about the average going price.

Now if I wasn't so damn cheap I would have won one by now.

Nothing is worse than seeing the following:
X Bidding has ended for this item at US $xxx.xx . You Were Outbid

[Lddrizzt]

Oh my gawd!
Look at the bid history, that is soooooo much a shill!
miss chavez bid on 8/11 and obviously her high bid is 500
piranahboy bids on 8/12 and stops at 499.39? Give me a break! his next bid makes it his. the increment for bidding at this point is 10 and he is being beat by 61 cents. This is shill bidding at it's most obvious.

[Slotzilla]

It seems foolish that such a high profile seller like Pachinko Pallace with 100% positive feedback would risk doing something so stupid as shill bidding.

Although it looks kind of suspect with the one bidder having "private" feedback.

I'm going to have to do a search on that bidder to see what other auctions he has bid on lately.

[Slotzilla]

Here is paranhaboy's recent bidder auctions:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...rows=25&sort=3

It's interesting that the only pachislos that he's been bidding on are P.P.'s

Although he's actually won every one except the Sinbad he's bidding on now.

That would be pretty foolish shill bidding IMO.

I would say it's just 2 uninformed bidders that are falling for all the hype in the ad.

People need to do their homework before bidding!!!!!

[logicprobe]

Um... yeah... he was obviously so impressed with the Hanabi Hyakkei, that he's bidding on a second one.

[Tulsa]

Where I would be hard pressed to believe that Eric was using a shill, there is certainly something very very smelly about this.

[arbycoffee]

Shilley Long, I know Shilley Long when I see her.

[Slotzilla]

I admit that the Sinbad auction looks a little fishy.

Although, it doesnt make sense that this parahnaboy would be the winner on three out of four auctions(the last one isn't finished yet).

The idea of shill bidding is that you are the second highest bidder.

Otherwise the seller has to pay higher fees to Epay because the item sold.

Maybe this guy is the Forrest Gump of shill bidding.

"Bid Forrest......Bid !!"

[AkaReaper]

Thats a shame! Now that I even SUSPECT, I'll never bid on an item from them. The auctions won could merely be to list them again. Notify ebay that the item was not up to par, they don't charge you the fee's. Oh well. Plenty out there. If its true, they'll get caught eventually.

[Tulsa]

With the deals that Big Bear is running right now with the 3 for $399 and 3 for $499 deals. That's just simply hard to beat for pachislos. I'd look there and at Milt's weekly specials first, then visit ebay.

[Lddrizzt]

I agree, I was kinda shocked when I saw the way the bidding was going, hence I had to say something.
Big Bear's deal right now is fantastic! Plus not only does Milt have the weekly specials going on, but he has lowered prices on a huge lot of machines. Not down to 77.7 but a good cut down from his regular prices.
