Joe D.but now I don't seem to care either way.
There were occassions where I would email an N54er and say I was thinking of bidding on an item... but saw them as a bidder - and if they really wanted the item I would back away.
Some times I would find out the person really wanted the item and I would back away, other times the other person would say -- no go right ahead and get it yourself..... and once both myself and the other N54er backed away at the same time letting someone else snag a very cool postcard (oops).
Anyway, that option is gone now. I'm not sure if that is good or bad.
I never really worried too much about shill bidding in the first place, and I don't really want to start worrying about it now. Hopefully eBay is putting in the proper safeguards to combat shills.
