Madness!

Larry R17 May 2013 11:35 a.m. PST

Did you look through the bid history?

darthfozzywig17 May 2013 11:40 a.m. PST

The lister's bid bots getting out of control?

Larry R17 May 2013 11:41 a.m. PST

I think all the bidders but one is the same guy

Yes, looks like shill bidding, but to what end?

Larry R17 May 2013 11:49 a.m. PST

I'd go crazy too painting small Italian ships!!

Perhaps alcohol was involved….?

I have some 1/2400 I'll sell for half that….

Why don't they bid like that on MY auctions? Sheesh.

"The lister's bid bots getting out of control?"

If so, he's going to be paying some whopping eBay fees….

Some of the bids are 2 seconds apart from the same account. How is that even possible to bid that close together?

Crazy is pervasive? I know it is pretty tough to keep crazy out of the vineyard business.

oldgamer17 May 2013 6:15 p.m. PST

Crazy is persuasive? I know it is really hard to keep it out of both the office for the day job and the family businesses are worse.

I think the winner set a really high top bid and the reason his name shows up so many times is because the other guy is raising to see where he tops out at. Then he comes back in and snipes it for the win.

Click Show automatic bids and it tells a better story. These two must really want those ships :)

I think someone will not get paid for this auction.

Insane!

However, look at this one.
