Case in point. This George Burke Chas. Gehringer photo I won (item #250739037920). Check out bidder a***5(121). 2055 (!) bids on 149 of hyee's auctions, 99% "activity . . with this seller". I e-mailed Henry about this clown and suggested he block him. He replied that he would and I presume that he did. Am not casting aspersions on Henry whatsoever. We all know that eBay lends itself to all kinds of bad faith shenanigans. This joker could have been shilling to his own advantage or could have been doing it just to jack around Henry. Either way it corrupts the bidding process and probably tends to elevate prices. I will not hold my breath waiting for eBay to do anything about anything.

Good point Dave. That buyer was a new ebay seller named; sharkbay545

Look him up. A strange guy. Ben and I have bought some photos from him 9he sells photos and books, and has only been selling since this last simmer. A strange fellow to say the least.

I encourage every one to look him up and see what he sells.

If Ben sees this comment, I'm sure he'll chime in...

I must leave to make a Doctors appoint now but will address him in more detail later this evening.

Every thing is not always the way it may appear to be.
