Yep! Brand new :)

to the forum Roxe, provided your duck friendly that is. Auction Sniper is GREAT-GREAT-GREAT

Roxie,
to our A S forum!!

Hey Mrs. M. I beat you with the welcome. Probably that lousy Verizon internet service. Oh, BTW I left my new phone in at the hotel in San Francisco along with all my eye medication. I am getting to old and too forgetful too fast.

But if you won, it was a successful auction!

jakedduck, I LOVE duckies If I knew how, I'd post a picture in here of four that I used to own. You'd love the pic

Mrs. M, thanks for the welcome... at least I think that is what's supposed to be on the blackboard, right??

Chatter163, go look at the bids at this url and tell me what you think about the "number" one.

613720 was nibbling away at your high bid, but fortunately he gave up before he outbid you. I take it that your max bid was $24.50, based on your earlier comment. Nothing suspicious observed here.

Roxie, yes and it is clear on my screen! Sorry if it is not on your's, so again, WELCOME!!!

Chatter163,

Having seen this before in auctions; and then finding out that people can have more than one user ID, it really makes me wonder.

At least now, with auctionsniper I won't have to worry about these kinds of actions any longer.

Wonder what? That is what I do not understand.

Roxe is thinking 613720 is a shill bidder??... Not accusing, just thinking.

I'm with you though. I don't see anything overly suspicious. How did they know when to stop? Many bid this way, especially those new to eBay who don't know how a proxy bid works.

Roxe, you're right about sniping though. They would have stoped bidding had they taken the lead. A snipe could have (as in maybe) won it for less.
