Yikes. Scary auction. Check this out. Thoughts?
 
Posted By: <b>James Verrill</b><p><BR>I stumbled over this, and am completely stumped. It has 73 bids (ALL from bidders with ZERO feedback, not a good sign, eh?). Does this have ANY value?<BR><BR>Clue me in, folks. I have never collected labels.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3606879646&category=79 9" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3606879646&category=79 9</a><BR><BR>By the way - I am not interested in this, nor do I plan to bid - just curious about this item, and looking to "be educated"

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>2 shill bidders both created on May 4th. Odds seem pretty slim that 2 people would create an account on the same day bid on the same exact thing and it is the the only thing that they have bid on.<BR><BR>Sorry, can't tell you anything about the label<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p>took a look at this cigar label auction and I have to agree that it certainly looks fishy. I could'nt say for a certainty that this guy is guilty, but two zero feedback bidders and 70+ bids really doesn't look good.

Posted By: <b>julie</b><p>of nothings! they don't seem to be attracting a crowd, do they? Of course, it's always POSSIBLE that two guys, neither of whom has any feedback, both saw the same cigar label and fell in love with it. Anything is possible.<BR><BR>He. "Nobody's perfect." HE!

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Of course, the seller is a power seller. A power seller wouldn't shill his own auctions, would he? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Jeff M</b><p>I think that the whole story here can be summed up with just the first 2 words of the auction listing. CRACK TEAM. Someone is trying to support a habit by running up the price.
