Why else would "Statewide" run up the price and outbid himself w/ 5 consecutive bids and increase his bid from 10,700 to 11,800 in a matter of 2 minutes?
You can see that gimeurbeer had a bid of 11,900 that was placed about an hour and a half before that. Statewide was probably just increasing his bid a little bit at a time until he outbid gimeurbeer. Either way, I think the seller did well but at the same time I also think it was a decent deal for the buyer too.
Im referring to where statewide increased his bid from 10,700 at 18:48 then placed 4 other consecutive bids within 2 minutes outbidding himself each time which reached 11,800 at 18:50....that to me looks like the owner running up the price.
Either way, it would be great to have. I was considering bidding but not at that price.
Let's look at the tape before someone shouts conspiracy:
statewide01 US $12,400.00 Sep-03-06 18:59:24 elitevw US $12,300.00 Sep-03-06 18:52:38 statewide01 US $12,200.00 Sep-03-06 18:51:54 elitevw US $12,100.00 Sep-03-06 18:51:55 statewide01 US $12,000.00 Sep-03-06 18:51:20 gimeurbeer US $11,900.00 Sep-03-06 17:14:24 statewide01 US $11,800.00 Sep-03-06 18:50:54 statewide01 US $11,600.00 Sep-03-06 18:50:33 statewide01 US $11,300.00 Sep-03-06 18:50:14 statewide01 US $10,900.00 Sep-03-06 18:49:36 statewide01 US $10,700.00 Sep-03-06 18:48:26 blakewolfanf US $10,500.00 Sep-03-06 10:15:37
Edited for clarity, I took out ratings and the timezone.
One thing to note, is that this is NOT in chronological order.
So, at 18:48:26, statewide01 was bidding to beat the bid of $11,900 made by gimeurbeer at 17:14:24. It looks like he/she was looking for the price, and found it at 18:51:20.
Thirty five seconds later, elitevw outbid statewide01's $12K bid, with a $12,100 bid.
Doesn't look that suspicious to me. Just looks like someone wanted to go up in price slowly in $200-$400 increments.
Precisely. Thx, I really didn't feel like typing all that lol.
