They are all fake bids. "I talked to him the evening of and he basically said he wasn't going to follow through," he said. "He came out up front and said it was a joke bid."
There folks, it a spot-on example of what the difference between a +600 and a -25 (now -26) comment is. Textbook. It's so clearly a perfect example that it's borderline beautiful in it's perfection.
It's a give/take thing - sometimes thebids go out of control, much higher than expected - sometimes you lose - I sell 15-20 aucitons a week, and it balances out.you're just a dick.

No, apparently diggers have trouble using punctuation correctly.

Never used ebay before I take it? That's how all bid histories look, minus the disguised names.
