Hi
I thought it was that the buyers were using stolen names.
It would seem that a lot of people are using these names
that they have phished for and bidding items up. A single
person may have two names that they are using to bid the
items up.
This seems to be happening not only for computer items but
also for old radios.
One fellow in the radio group has attempted to sell the same
item 3 times and each time someone bid phoney bids. Causing
the auction to be canceled.
This is really bad for the sellers because people get tired
of bidding on an item.

what's with the disappearing auctions? The
last couple of
IMSAI and altair auctions were "removed" almost immediately
upon completion. Does anybody know what the final price on
the altair 680 with the riser board and memory expansion was?
What about the IMSAI that was over $5000 with over a day left?
Apparently that is what happens when the seller is no longer an
eBay member, for whatever reason. Presumably the seller cancelled
his eBay membership (or possibly was banned)?
