Yeah Lois, I got a question. I want to know your policy on shill bidding, and how you plan to keep it from happening. And, if you find it, what do you plan to do about it.
See, the reason I'm asking is because you've got one of the most *blatant* cases of shill bidding going on over there I've ever seen.
Follow along, ARFcomers....and see the ugly side of online gun auctions.
First, go to bluebroker.com. Then head over to the advanced search feature. Look up the user ID "xmarine". This will bring you to his list of guns for sale.
Link here(actually, you could just go to either the C&R rifle section or the regular rifle section, as he's practically the only guy selling anything in either) Anyway, hit his auctions that have bids. You'll see a curious thing, something I've never seen before. ALL his auctions that have bids (11) are being won by the
same person (userID wilma). Remarkable! Unbelievable! Stupendous! It's especially remarkable that this person has outbid all other bidders.....
even themselves!. This person apparently doesn't mind bidding almost $4000 for a bunch of C&R rifles worth maybe half that. Oh.....and they
only bid on his auctions, no others.If this isn't shill bidding, then I'd be pretty surprised. I'm even more surprised you guys at CFS haven't caught on. You've only got 19 auctions running in C&R for chrissake! 14 of them belong to this guy and you can't keep track? And you expect us to bid on this site?
