Is this shill bidding, or a very loyal customer?

Note the 9-feedback bidder and the seller are from the same city.

Doesn't look like a shill bidder to me.

He bought something from Morris at M&M. Maybe Morris could say whether Frankscoins and this guy are the same guy.

Uh-oh. brickboytx and frankcoins are infamous over on RCC. Google Groups it if you're interested; however, I'd advise against it -- it's rather tiresome.

<< <i>whats a shill bidder? >>



Someone who bids on another persons auction with the intention of driving the price up not winning the auction. Some seller on ebay use shill accounts to make sure their coins do not sell for bargin basement prices. With a shill account they can squeeze every last cent out of the sale. Then they can get NARU'ed!

Here is the defenition as per dictionary.com:


<< <i>shill Audio pronunciation of "shill" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (shl) Slang
n.

One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle. >>

Brickboy seems to be on an awful lot of Frank's coins.

Brick is a gay liberal

Frank looks gay (not an insult, just an observation)
