Nope - same one - same serial numbers

Guess his shill bidder pushed it a little too far?

OK... he says not... guess it isn't.

Is it my imagination.. or is that the same SX-100 that was sold a few

Item #5857172450. I was considering putting mine up, given the prices
offered... (or not?).


Well, if he says it's not, then it is. ha.

What's really troubling is what if martyn and gottahaveit were not
"pushing it a little too far."

What if, he's smarter than that. Say he has two or three shills,
they bid up an SX-100 or whatever to irrational heights, do it
two or three times. It's a private auction so we don't know what's
going on.

Then he actually puts one out and without too much shill action gets
even half that price. He walks away with real money.
