Okay, you guys need to step aside here ... I took high school French, so I'll do the translating:

"Lokiwookie, my good friend, let us fly to the U.S. this summer and use our strong Euros to buy up all of the items owned by our American pig-dog Acaeum brothers. Then we will fly home (first class) with suitcases stuffed full of woodgrains and R series modules. Call me if this will work for you."

Not bad, huh? Who says 12 years of public schooling doesn't provide a good education?

X, your comprehension of french is absolutely remarkable. You can understand french between the lines !
Strong Euros makes thing easier when we bid, but I would say that USPS is now very expensive. So a trip to the US to strip of all our Acaeum fellows is a good idea
Strong Euros is good for me, unfortunately, I don't have as much as I want ...  

But, I can tell you, if I can't buy all those Woodgrains, I will gather as much White Plume Mountains as possible !

One bad (sure just one) thing I've noticed with eBay is that you can see if someone has bid twice in a row on an item. Essentially upping their bid. This leaves that users more susceptible to shilling since the shill now knows that the user upped their bid. Two bids in a row should show up as one bid until the auction is done.

I don't think this is a shilling situation, when you look at the timing of the bids.   0***1 bid 20 and 40 back to back early and led the auction most of the way.  d***t bid twice, driving the price to 10.50, then gave up - they could be a shill, taking advantage of the situation you put forth, but just as likely they gave up after seeing the price go too high.



When the winner bid, the price was at $10.50, and they came in with an initial bid of at least $41, then upped it twice more for good measure.  They must have really wanted that book?



The 1 feedback new ebayer might set off the shill alarm, but in this case they don't seem to be attempting to drive up the price actively.

No surprise as to who the three highest bidders are. Quite a bit of difference in bid price between the top three bidders and the fourth one (me   ).  It will make it all the more enjoyable when I end up winning one of these for half the price.  



This one just blows me away as well:
