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.
