Hi
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300092533246
I was about to bid on the above item (Nokia 6280), when it all went pear-shaped, looks as though some people have spoiled it. (for those who don't want to click on the link, price went from a sensible £65 bid upto £620!) Also happened to an earlier auction for the same type of phone today.
Are there some people out there who just spoil auctions for the hell of it, or is there some other motive which I've overlooked? Perhaps someone could fill me in on the whys and where fors on this!!
