dan mckeeLook at this bid history. Ebay is basically masking the only chance bidders have of recognizing shill bidding. They said they weighed the pros and cons. Basically, the IDIOTS at ebay have decided that they are losing more money by people writing under bidders and selling off-line than they are by sellers starting at $1 and being able to shill bid up to a reserve amount w/o setting a reserve and paying for it. I think this is a huge mistake by ebay and the shilling sellers of the world are able to bid at will on their own items and we can't see the bogus ID's !!!!!! Yet another BRILLIANT change by the brain trusts at ebay. Ebay, a wonderful product, run by complete idiots! I picked this auction because I know the seller well and he is a very good friend of mine so there is absolutely no shill bid here. This is strictly an example to show the way ebay has "masked" the bidder ID's.
