And this is why I hate Ebay

and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140151798127
got outbid on both at the last possible second by 2 different brand new less then 30 days old and ZERO feedback account. I already have an MKII but I figured if I was gonna drive to jersey to pick up a mspacman, mine as well make it worth the trip.
This guy has to be shield bidding, doesnt he?
Anyone have a mspacman for cheap? my mom retires soon and I was gonna restore one as a gift to her (her all time fave game and shes good at it too!)
mcfreak:
They should at least start putting the IP address of the user that bid at the time of the bidding. I know you can get around it but at least it would give us something to go on...

I think you mean "shill" bidding?

Shill bidding: is the intentional sham bidding by the seller to drive up the price of his/her own item that is up for bid. This is accomplished by the sellers themselves and/or someone that is associated with the seller making bids to purposely drive up the price of the seller's item.
Shield bidding: occurs when the buyer uses another email address or a friend (the shield) to drive up prices and discourage bids on an item she wants. At the last minute, the shield withdraws the high bid, allowing the buyer to win the item at a lower price. Most auction sites forbid retracting a bid once it's made, and on Usellit4free shill and shield bidding is clearly prohibited.
yeah I guess it was a shill this time, either way, still pissed =(
