[QUOTE="WoodsCraft, post: 3960254, member: 51836"] There are actually a fairly good amount of those high dollar sold auctions on GB where the item was not paid for by the buyer or the bidding was done by shills who didn't want their item to sell too cheaply. GB is legendary for people running bids up to absurd amounts and then not paying for the item as a form of crapping on a seller because of perceived slight , someone not being happy about the asking price, etc . That Hungarian SVD train wreck is a good example . I have personally experienced the shill bidding more than once , on items which are probably esoteric and not of much interest to anyone . When I finally bid after it sat for weeks or months and in fact bid in the last minutes of the auction , then magically there are bids raising the price. Oh and I have sold a few things on GB to have buyers drag their feet , refuse to pay and everything else to the point I will rarely use GB for much of anything . [/QUOTE]
