Just surfing through kit postings and came across this one, bid is now at over $ 50.00 . Am I mssing something here ? It looks like a pile of junk - Ebay # 251217046893 . All this guys other postings look like common junk lots as well, and some of those bids are over $40.00 .

In the actual lot You refer to, there's a car with the wheels from som kind of "show-rod"...could be from a Monogram "Fire Cracker" . In another lot there's an AMT 57 Chevy with the early issue custom front/end treatment. But, apart from the two kits mentioned, there's not very much interesting in the "junkpiles" IMHO.

I'm beginning to suspect shill bidding. I looked at the bid history on all the current auctions, and the same two people are bidding up on them , one way more than the other . None of these lots is worth what they are at right now. The completed auctions show more lots with high prices too. I cant imagine anyone would pay so much for these .

Those guys bidding are never around when I need them! Another piece of evidence of what is lost with the lack of transparency on Ebay, you have no idea who is bidding or what they are up to and you can't find out much. The old system where you could see everything openly was much better.

Personally , I 'd like to know who is biding on an auction before I make my decisions . |

No way are these two individuals that interested in that many lots that belonging to just one person. |

To report a fraudulent listing such as this you can go to the ebay community center / safety center and in Gen . Customer Support enter the listing #'s to file a complaint . I did this for all 4 of this persons listings . Maybe if we all do it they will pay attention to us !

I've never even considered filing a complaint on ebay until I saw these listings today . This person obviously has been getting away with this for a while and doesn't think any body will notice the ridiculous bidding ! It really ticked me off so I reported it to ebay . If any of you would like to do the same but aren't sure how , PM me and I'll explain the procedure to you .
Thanks .
BOB .

I took your advice and reported it as well on the 4 remaining listings . Maybe Ebay will check it out and do something about it!
