Vicky Chance $39.00

[Chrisdice]

I placed a few sport bids last night. An Indy, a Julie and a Vicky Chance. I lost all 3 to 2007summerw . They are new ebay member with a 0 rating. I don't know if they are a member here yet but thats a great 3 games to stat off with. Congrats.

Anyway I was offered a 2nd chance Vicky Chance for $39.00 from Pachinko. I don't really wan't another game right now. Does Anybody want to take advantage of this? This would be great for someone in the CA area. Even shipped for under $130 isn't too bad. Just let me know.

I checked the bidder history of 2007summerw. It seems like they only bid on samuraislot and panchinko. They have won 18 auctions since Feb. 4 but have not received any feedback. Just seems interesting.

i spy with my little eye...........


moving teh bidding up to a point where they can afford to loose it to a second chance offer

[Doctor]

Found another bidder that seems even more interesting. wikedbeest has won 47 auctions from panchinko and samuraislot since Feb 4 and also has 0 feedback.

Also another twist on this bidder. He also won a few from shenghung for under 10 dollars. He probably picks up from shenghung to save on shipping and just relist them.

jodief801 has won 6 auctions from panchinko and samuraislot since Jan 28 and also have 0 feedback.

That is interesting... Although $39 is pretty sweet - almost half as much as I paid...

I don't think Cf Industries leaves buyers any feedback!!!!

They usually just respond to feedback you left.

Luckydog, I really hope that this is the case. It just seems a little bit funny to me.

[Chrisdice]

So now there scamming auctions? this just keeps getting better and better.

[fronzdan]

Well winning 10 or so machines in less than a month - that I can believe. METZ is proof that. But 47!?!? That smells a bit like shill bidding to me. Geez, if you're going to do that, do something a little less obvious.

[slotter]

That wikedbeest bidder also is buying balls from pachislot777, though.

Other than seeing that, this certainly smells like shilling by a couple of these people. Or, maybe someone is trying to mess up the auctions and then never pays

[Sid]

interesting indeed...

definately something to keep an eye on..

[birdbrain]

i have picked up 12 machines from them and only recived one feedback and that was in nov.

ChrisDice I have one more day on a second chance VC at $45.45 from one that I was out bid from almost a week ago (by a pachitalk member for $46).

I almost had one for $33 until a last minute bid from one of those 0 feed back people. The second chance offer came just before the out bid, like I said the auction closed almost a week ago. It was one of those $1 minimum, no reserve, 1 day ones. very odd.

Now I noticed they have a reserve on the Vickies. I think the one last night went for $35 at about 3am east coast did not see who got it, I hope it was a member.

[luckydog]

summerw2007 bid reserve price of 99.99 on one machine, if it was shilling they wouldn't have done that

just bid 99.00 if they wanted to jack up the price for other bidders.

[slotter]

You have to wonder, though, why the second chance offers to other people right after the auctions end? That's strange.

[Tulsa]

Not really strange at all. If they are controlling the winner, they are controlling the negative feedback.

The second chance offer is to actually sell the machine but you can't leave feedback.

Thats what I was thinking.
And also its hard to believe that anyone buying that many games is not a member here.

[birdbrain]

you can leave feedback with a second chance offer

[Lddrizzt]

Out of the 24 auctions that 2007summerw has bid on only 2 machines were doubles.
And wikedbeest has won auctions from more than one vendor with only a couple repeats.

So let's all cry "SHILL! SHILL!"

Hmmm $35 machine, $90 shipping, $125 cost... Sell for $150-$200 locally.
Looks to me like we have stumbled across someone who is buying machines cheap and reselling them.
Oh crap! I guess I am a shill bidder too. cause I do the same damn thing. But on a smaller scale.
You guys are too damned paranoid.

Here's an idea... How about someone actually doing a little research before they start crying foul.

Well shows what I know then.

I've never had a second chance offer..
