I bid on this one because I think it's cool to see my handle (colorcoins) on the same auction page as the Seller (colorfulcoins).
Yes, it is true: it takes very little to amuse me.

(Oh, I guess the coin is kinda cool lookin too.)

Looks good, but that might keep people from bidding if they think it is a shill bid.

What idiot would believe a Shill would use an ID almost identical to the Seller's?

My point exactly. It is so close that some people might think that. Scammers aren't always the smartest people. I thought that.

Cameron, it is said the first step is admitting it. Congratulations.

<sarcasm>Is that a bad thing? Some neat little trick to keep true buyers from pushing up the bid?</sarcasm>

You guys are all funny! If either colorcoins or I (colorfulcoins) was a scammer, would we both be posting on these boards unless we were REALLY stupid??????
