RE: What am I missing...$1000? - Super - 04-17-2018
This is weird...the last 4 recorded bids have been $1000 which can't be possible. They would not be recorded as Bids if they aren't above the last Bid. Of course this doesn't even take in the fact that the first $1000 bid was only $1 above the $999 bid before it which is also impossible since at this high level of bidding I think the minimum bid is $100 above the bid before it. All very strange and I have an uneasy feeling about all this.
Of course there is not proof that this Seller has done anything wrong and could be legit. I do wonder though if there has been some type of hack and Sellers are easily shill bidding. If someone has found a way to shill Bid this could be bad for the Auctions. I have often wondered if the Japan Auction has Security Software built in to stop that as I had a feeling that a couple of items I was bidding on might be shilled but it was only a feeling. Of course nothing could stop any Seller from being in kahoots with a friend with a different IP address from doing the same which I also believe happens on Ebay. What else just came to mind is that $10,000 Lot we were discussing a while back but in that one the Listing started as that and was sold.

Anything mentioned or associated with that $10,000 lot or its seller in any way should raise an immediate red flag!

I can't see anything wrong with the sellers account/history and item prices. Must have been a bidding war that got spiteful and stupid so a bidder must have made another account and torpedoed the auction and the other bidder must have outbid again, doubt the seller will ever see payment.

Gordon with an express coach for $1000?! Well someone really wanted one I guess.

The exact same $1000 train has been relisted by the same seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/Trackmaster-Gordon-Working-RARE-2001-Tomy/173282377993?hash=item28586f4109:g:uysAAOSwYUBa3G65

Looks like it's been corrected...$35 seems about right!

The first $1000 Listing started at $22.50. I am still terribly curious to all the bidding inconsistency's to Ebays procedures of the $1000 sale of this same train. He still has the new in its box Gordon of this same train Listed.
