Have you guys noticed all the new ebay id's with-in the 25th anniversary auctions. Many of the on-line sellers who have big internet stores have many new buyers visiting thier stores and buying items at a high closing bids???

things that make you go hhhmmm???

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're suggesting

Shill bidders? People messing with sellers? Or an even greater conspiracy that will consume all GI Joes on eBay?

I would be convinced of shill bidding only if some real evidence were presented. New bidders isn't nearly enough. They're usually the n00bs who drive up my auctions since they don't know any better.

I'm guessing that the scarcity and demand for these 25th figs are driving people who never used eBay before to start.

True. Because of this epidemic I have forced myself to concentrate on my first love, Star Wars, because even Hasbro has some stuff that Im looking for on HTS unlike the Joes.

Are You Saying That The Sellers Actually Can't Sell Them At The Crazy Astronomical Price They Dream They Can Sell It For And Are Making Phony Ebay I.d.'s To Out Bid Everyone On What They Think , They Are Selling Is Worth??? Yeah That's What Your Saying. I Agree

Yes.

Um. . .no.

Wait, what? :confused:

The new bidder IDs could very well be shillers. . .or not. :) That's all I'm saying.
