I had thought about that. To those not privy to the conversations here and knowledge of how things occured the value of Tegel Manor will be skewed for a bit. Poor guy somewhere is digging one out of the closet thinking they have a good chunk of mad money on the way.

And if someone's smart they'll put one up with a £100 BIN to sit next to that one in the search results. Someone'll buy it. I would, but I don't have any left.


This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Phew, someone else has jumped the queue for that burning.



Now do I really want to put myself back in the firing line? (will mull this over for a day or two)

Comments like that in public are liable to get a public response along the lines of "now do I really want to retract that bid or not? (will mull this over for a day or two)" :P



You didn't respond to my PM, John ;)



(And, more to the point, neither is Bella responding to my emails...).

I won't be retracting any bids.  Well not unless there's a significant change to the listing, or someone digs some dirt on Bella.  Talking of which, I haven't had any replies to my emails to Bella either. :?

It's almost worth winning one of "her" other auctions on which postal orders are accepted just to get a name and address (not sure if I should be sharing that idea, might have given me an edge).  Would probably be better to get a friend to bid on it.  Just to maintain the deception.

All these veiled messages, paranoia, etc certainly add to the entertainment (for the spectators).



I was trying to work out what you meant in your PM.  Then I had to leave for work.  I've now replied.  Well, sort of.

Who needs drugs when you've got auctions like this? 8O

Well, not to throw any more gasoline on the paranoia fire, but look how amazinglingly similar the winner of that auction and the sellers names are (technicmind v. technictoys). 8O

I don't know about shilling your own auctions, but you'd think if someone was gonna bid on their own auctions they wouldn't do it from an established account with a history. You'd figure they'd do it with a newbie account.

Now I am not saying that it is for sure a shill, but in this circumstance, if you are going to commit a fraudulent auction (i.e this weeks PotVQ), then I would think the seller would create the Newbie ID to sell the Fraud item and leave their established Ebay ID out of it. IMO.

up until this morning i was tempted to whack on a nice hefty bid somewhat nearer the end, but on 2nd thoughts, i have decided i am not going to bother - seems far too much of a risk to me now. good luck on any of you guys who are gonna go for it - i admire youre bottle on this one i have to say!



now if this was burnie selling it, well then it would be a whole different ball game :)


Are we nearly there yet?

Just for the curious - both the "technics" are located in the UK.  They both sell similar "lego" items.  The one technic has bidded on the other technics auctions twice (and won!)



Oddly, he is winning the same type of items that he sells . . . only he doesn't sell much of them, so why buy more (check out completed items)



One is a private id so you can't do searches on the name either.



Good luck!  :)

That brings me back to my original question. Why buy your own items against real buyers. He's bought two now.

Although they have recently switched this to private.  On the original PotVQ auction you could see their feedback.



<paranoid>I wonder why they hid it :?: </paranoid>
