Mastro Wins???

I've known Bill for 15 years. I've won lots in almost every auction he has had. I've NEVER been offered any second chance buys. I've NEVER felt I've been shill bid. Mastro is one of only a few auction houses I'll deal with. We all know there's shill bidding on almost every important and sometimes not, eBay lot, yet we still bid. Bill is as integrous as they come. Always treated me right.

BTW, in my next 'On Your Side' column in Tuff Stuff, I will be writing about a new ebay scam making the rounds. Ebayers are being send second chance offers on expensive lots from people that have nothing to do with the item. I bid 3500 on a card that eventually sold for 6K. Lo and behold, a few days later I received a SCO and I was the SIXTH underbidder. The seller was one that I had done numerous deals with. I called him and he had no idea it was happening. Who knows how many suckers sent $$$? HUGE SCAM! TJS
