What happened when ranger asked iluvdnd to pay the $400?  

Just email iluvdnd and see what he says.  Who knows.. maybe iluvdnd will join the Acaeum forum and explain how he affords to beat all the shill bidders and what he's doing with all the bootleg PDF disks he buys and why he purchased the DVD collection of "Mama's Family" and "Little House On The Prarie" or the Spice Girls Halloween Costume.  

(It's fun to poke fun at people when they can't poke back)

Hmm.  Maybe I'll get his address when he decides to contact me about the shrinkwrap he won from me.

After you win those auctions, don't you hit him with negatives?

I'd put in "Shill bidder! Uses other IDs to bid on his own items and jack up the price! AVOID!!!" or the like - as much as you can fit.  Then others are warned and don't have to do their own sleuthing.

Also, his rating should steadily decline and prices should decline as buyers shy away due to poor feedback.

Better check again...

I'm sure he thanks you.

"Yea, verily I say unto you, he was sent forth into the eBay wilderness for forty days and forty nights. Therein he did encounter the beast, and it was clothed in copyright infringements, and accompanied by all manner of foul shills in infinite numbers. But his typing hand held true, and with his shining BIN he smote the beast, unleashing the power of the Acaeum, and by his hand the beast and its minions were laid low. Whereupon the dark clouds of PDF documents which had darkened the sky were rent asunder, and the wholesome light of original items was made to bathe the earth again."
