[pure-silver] buying photo stuff on ebay
I hope this is not too (shamefully) off topic. I know a lot of people on this list shop on ebay for cameras, etc. Well, I just was doing the same, and I have a question. I had a bid in on an item, and my highest bid was $100, but for a whole day the price stayed at $66. I ended up "winning" the auction, but at the very last minute , the bidding went up to my highest bid, $100.
That made me a little suspicious. I wondered if a seller could get a friend to bid up an item. But then I thought: how would they know when to stop? They might by accident bid over my highest amount and end up buying the item. So, was this just bad luck? Or next time should I put in a lower highest bid? Or a less obvious highest bid, like $98?
