Mat Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hi, did any of you just see this run out on ebay: 160326186334It just sold for $5398, I was the next highest bidder at $5398. Gutted! Thought I could have made a small fortune out of that if I won!There was some clear shill bidding going on there, in the last 20 min I watched a bidder put a bid on every single bid increment from $712 to $2550 when he was winning it. Then to make sure he was not going to win his own coin in the last 5 min the seller decided to remove that bidder and cancel all his bids, and leaving the comment "bad bidder" in the explanation comment box. It was just outright obvious! and the fact all the bidders bidding history was just 100% on the sellers coin meaning he has never bidded on any other listing on ebay.Have any of you known of another 1825 £2 to sell? If so how much for? I cannot find anything on the net unless I pay and subscribe to worthpoint or artufact or somthing.Mat Quote

VickySilver Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Wow, that sounds pretty blatant and worse than anything I have experienced on the 'bay!I have noticed that there has been rather a dearth of material on ebay, and have gotten very little of consequence for a year or more.Who was the seller?
