I leave the interpretation to you...

RYK

There's not much more they could have done to make it more obvious as far as I can tell.

The shill account could have been, "Shilly Mommy" instead of "Susan Mommy".

susan_mommy must be very disappointed after trying so hard.

You CAN'T always judge a book by its cover!

Not *always*. But when the cover shows a zero feedback bidder with a newly minted eBay ID bidding like this, and leaving a $599.99 bid just a little before sniping time, I think I pretty much know how the book is going to read -- much like The Big Shill!

By the way -- Your link just put that evil MSN banner on my eBay page. Now I have to quit out of my browser to get rid of it!

Gee, I seem to be missing something here! Maybe someone could explain instead of speaking in some damn kind of code!!

Ken,

I think it's about time you have a Steeler's photo on your sig line.

Looks like some unusual bidding at the end for a shill though.

Susan_mommy got the high bid at roughly 7AM on the 22nd with a bid of $550.00
At 4:13PM She upped her own bid to $599.99 but the high bid still showed $550.00
At 4:36 Collectorcoins4u-on-aol bid $556 which didn't beat Susans proxy so high bid was now $556 + 1 increment
At 6 seconds before closing Classicraritiesllc snipped the auction and his bid won out over Susans $599.99 proxy and he got it at $609.99

I'm not sure if it is a snipe or just an inexperienced bidder. Bidding against oneself and by a large amount does not seem like shill activity.
