Is it my imagination.. or is that the same SX-100 that was sold a few
days ago for $1600? The ad pictures are the same, although the
completed auction pictures have been deleted. Just curious.
Item #5857172450. I was considering putting mine up, given the prices
offered... (or not?).

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

Nope - same one - same serial numbers

Guess his shill bidder pushed it a little too far?

How about that "High Drive" Tempo 2000 Ham amplifier with all the
limitations in CB lingo? :-)) It's past due and no one bit er bid on
it. You might have to cut and paste for the long URL.

At this rate, it may become profitable to build "reproductions" and make
out like a bandit.

???...maybe the Chinese have already done this? Or could make them for
$100 each? Sell like hotcakes?

It may just be a bandit, of course. (Someone is/was auctioning a T1154/R1155
setup that was sold a few weeks ago in England (the buyer is in England and
very happy with it, apparently); but... the same items (including serial #s)
reappeared for sale in the US. Very Suspicious.)

Thanks for the FYI. I've heard all kinds of funny stories and I'm not an
expert on eBay stuff, either. There could be "operators" who just set up
multiple userids on eBay and sell the stuff to themselves (who would find
out?) but the rising prices get recorded somewhere and someone I know who
knows a lot more about how to do this says you can look up recent past
prices for specific things. Then, if you do this, it looks legit and --
guess what-- it credibly pumps up the "going" price on stuff. I was
looking for some boatanchor receivers a few weeks ago and saw bidding
going --as far as I was concerned--beyond what I would consider as
reasonable. I backed out.

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.
