I'll look in to it when I can find the time. I know that kgb150 was
brazen enough to bid on his own coins using his own alias ID; coin-
2002. Both of those are no longer active. Others feedback profiles
you may want to check are worthycoin, morgantrader, morgantraders
(with and s); and there are a couple of others I don't recall off-
hand that may or may not be active or have changed. (It'd be a simple
matter of plugging in the old moniker into a search and the new one
will come up, though.) I have a pretty good idea how they have set
things up between them, and like I said, I've been able to predict
the price they agree to max the lot out at. I've also noticed that
they know when to push a price up when they have a bidder, especially
an early bidder, who seems determined to come out on top.
eBay, I have found, ignores the obvious and otherwise turns a blind
eye. The only way to combat such tactics is to make it known in a
forum such as this. Everyone else will have to tough it out or learn
on their own.
Perhaps to be fair, though, several lots have sold for reasonable
prices. I guess it's just a matter of whether or not you want risk
paying too much to come out the winner. I've noticed that a lot of
people get caught up in the fever of an auction, myself included, and
it becomes more of a personal competition rather than resembling any
sense of reasonability. Of course, that is what these people are
depending on. That is also why they do it, sort of greed playing off
of greed.
