Re: Another $2000 V-8 Gas cap. for sale
I really wonder how much SHILL bidding is going on to drive the price up.

Whether or not there are any of your imaginary 'SHILL' bidders, the final bidder is the one who is willing to pay the price for the item, otherwise it would be your imaginary 'SHILL' bidder that owned the item.

As far as the final bidder-- if it's a SHILL then the transaction never really goes through, if not, then the buyer has been snookered. It may not be illegal but still seems awfully unethical. |

Pretty familiar with W.C. Fields and his work--struggling to see how he fits into this topic.

Re: Another $2000 V-8 Gas cap. for sale
P.T. Barnum's saying was... A sucker born every minute! or something like that. Some people have more money than brains. I just can't fathom that kind of $$ for something like that. Shows you what little value some put on money.

Re: Another $2000 V-8 Gas cap. for sale
A while back 1936 Ford breather scoops ran the same course on eBay.One scoop sold for way more than it was worth and every body who had one thought they were gold.You really can't blame anybody it's just human nature.Ebay has proved to be a double edge sword.

The people that pay the outrageous prices for things like this and drive the price out of reach forever, are the ones to blame. Not the people selling.

Re: Another $2000 V-8 Gas cap. for sale
I was thinking the same thing last night as I watched a Ferrari GTO sell for $34.5 million dollars at auction. That bidder ruined it for everyone.

Re: Another $2000 V-8 Gas cap. for sale
If I may chime in on this, then I'll leave this never ending topic alone. On ebay there are a lot of buyers that buy strictly from me. I allow them to hold their shipments here or pay over the phone or even pick up once monthly in person. These conveniences that they like and therefore they usually only bid on their favorite sellers stuff. If they need something and I have it, I list it. I am the same way, I collect old Ford lietrature and will only buy from one literature seller on ebay.
