It only is a problem when people bid loads more than they are prepared to pay, then are unhappy when they end up paying that amount.
This is getting a little out of hand, bottom line shill bidding isnt allowed and should be stopped! that was the idea of the post.
It doesnt matter what the bidder bids or is willing to pay, if shill bidding is happening then the buyers are being conned. end of story!0 -
Let me jump in with a question for you...biblejohn wrote:I dont need conviencing of the wrongs of shill bidding, but people seem to fail to understand that if you only bid what you are prepared to pay then there isnt any problem.

I went down to Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago and was delighted to find chicken breasts reduced by £2, the following week they were BOGOF! I went back some time later and found that they were being sold at their full price again. I was rather disappointed to only get them at their market value. Do you consider me irrational for feeling this way?0
