oh i also forgt to mention what else i know goes on there alot. Bumping...its where say someone bids on my item...i call my buddy to bid higher in hopes they overbid on him, almost like gambling but its no real loss if no one overbids

then we can give each other good feedback. i'd hate to know how much of this really goes on.

i admit though i did that for my friend, i bumped his bids twice and he ended up getting almost $100 more than he probably would have.

I don't understant what's wrong with "sniping". It cuts all the fussing about. It good for those that are very desperate
