h_yee auctions

I know a guy that bids like he shills all the time... he can't seem to lock in a maximum bid...he keeps changing his mind on something he wants...and bids small amounts hoping to get it cheap..when the price goes up..he gets nervous and starts bidding up.

As for H Yee auction...my first time....he was very courteous, friendly, informative and prompt to my query and am looking forward to participating in his future offerings...

There was some rather bizarre bidding going on. I don't know what you would call this, but it certainly wasn't shilling.

I put this item on my watch list, and at the time there was already 13 bids, but at the time was still only at $0.99. YES, all 13 bids were by the initial bidder.

I scratched my head and figured I have to go back afterwards to see what this bidder's strategy was. In all honesty, now that I can see the bid amounts placed, I still have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA!

That's pretty funny. I can only guess that A***5 was hoping to scare potential bidders away, but also didn't want to spend more for the photo than for shipping.
