Just a tidbit on that crooked auction that's going on... Any news is helpful before we go and place our bids for this rare one-of-a-kind anti-collectible, and I know many of you need your hourly source of laughter. So here's the skivvy:
In the last 30 minutes, the lovely auction went from only having 9 bids to a whopping 31 bids. Even though the auction is supposed to be "private", the bidder's history does show the times (PST) when a lot of these so-called bids are placed. And wouldn't you know it... just like the same person's feedback rating, there are a LOT of posts within minutes, if not seconds between each other.
Now that may not seem like much, but considering that "frenzied bidding" like this usually happens within the last few moments of an auction and not while there are 9 days left does indicate that there is indeed some foul play going on... as if everybody DIDN'T know that everything about this auction smells foul.
