I was looking around on eBay to see if i could find a cassette recorder for my apple II, and i found this:

25 bids and its only at 1.99! and its all the same guy.

That is odd. He wants it so bad he bid on and AND has 24 sniping bots bidding too.

24 sniping bots, eh? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. One sniping bot bids then 23 of the others bid, and suddenly there is a huge bidding war...

Seriouslym I wonder what's up with that? Maybe he is just in cahoots with the seller and wants to make it look like a coveted item, and thus put plenty of bids on it. Still, it isn't physically possible for 25 people to bid against eachother on eBay and it remain at $1.99, even if it started at 1 cent. So if that is the case, it wasn't a well thought-out plan...

It means he has upped his own bid multiple times. If you go back and re-bid on an item that you are the current high bidder on, it doesn't increase your CURRENT bid, only your maximum.

It's an anti-sniper defense. But, based on the fact that the bids are all mere seconds apart from each other, I think it was a boo-boo.

Well, why don't you bite and try to outbid him? :-P It is almost worth $5 + shipping $14 for the fun to see how high the bid has been raised.

It's not productive or appropriate to complain about pricing or shipping irregularities on eBay. This has been a problem with more than a few threads, and it's getting to the point where the moderators are just going to start deleting threads.
