Default *sigh*...... I hate ebay sometimes.

Have a look at this:

http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....d=dalbat007&co
mpleted=1&all=1&rows=25&sort=3

It appears the seller with the 156 I was interested in is into shill
bidding in a big way, so sod that.

I've reported him instead.

Heh.

I know people will indulge in a bit of iffy bidding like that if they
sell the odd item on ebay, but to be doing it in a major way when you're
a trader is a bit off, IMHO - I certainly wouldn't trust the description
of anyone who's shilling in such a big and obvious manner.

Back to trawling the ads, then.

Now, if only I could find a reasonably priced 166 locally.....

Heh. If I buy a 156 I plan to put some form of ageless plate on it.

Bidding on your own items in order to force up the price.
