Sarcasm ALWAYS works on these forums...ALWAYS. Furthermore, shill bidding is awesome and should be considered a vendor bid as per a real estate auctions. Harmless fun to ensure maximum profit for the seller and feebay, beats setting a reserve or starting an auction at the lowest price you would accept.
I mean really, who in their right mind allows the market to dictate the value of your item... if in your mind your $100 card is worth $180 who are the rest of us to stop you from shilling yourself to victory. Better still, after you have shilled me out...roll the dice and send me a second chance offer since I was so close to winning and some "loser" that "outbid" me didnt pay.
Disclaimer: 1. Needless to say, that was sarcasm 2. It worked..yes it did! 3. Ebay should also remove the second chance offer as it encourages potential shill bidders to try this $hit. I have never accepted a second chance offer because it makes me think I was shilled out and declined their kind gesture. Probably not always the case but I reckon a large percentage would be.
@Quiksilver i got the sarcasm however i can also see where
@Brummiiee and
@sgt_pepper are coming from, reading about getting shilled invokes rage of being shilled yourself in the past and whilst in that state you become devoid of humour and most definitely sarcasm. This forum in honesty is one of the better if not the best around and majority of folks on here are great. Maybe next time make the sarcasm less of a feature or really drive it home with a baddup tish or SARCASM INTENDED at the end for those who may be enraged at that moment.
