Review 11/1/2010
The absolute worst of the worst. It's not just that they use shills and bots - I watched a bid for '700 bids ' that went for over $100. The winner - bibutler : greatigger - placed over 2500 bids at $.60 a bid. One of the worst things they do, and I would like to know if anyone else has seen this, is run 3 or 4 auctions simultaneously. To observe this, open a separate window for 2 or 3 of their auction categories. For example, open a window for electronics, a new window for computers and a third window for fashion. Look for one item from each window that has the same time remaining and dollar bid as those on other windows. Now look at the bidders. You will find that they all have the exact same bidders placing the exact same bids for the exact same amount at the exact same time. The bid history list lists the same bidders and the same number of bidders for every auction. Try placing a bid. Suppose the three auctions are for an iPad, a camera and a Rolex. Place a bid for the iPad. You and your bid not only appears at the iPad auction, it will also show up at the camera and the Rolex auction. You, a legitimate bidder, are helping to prolong and run up the price of all of the linked auctions as well as the one you really bid on. Now that I have exposed this, it probably won’t be long before these crooks change their system but that’s okay because I have video and photos of dozens of examples of just this scam.
