I'm the guy that put them up on Ebay and was wondering the same thing, especially since the guy doesn't have any feedback and is a new E-bayer, it makes me worried about him/her.

But, I believe I figured it out. Look at the bid history. 'silentseven' was the first person to bid at 12:10:03. That bidder must have left a proxy bid for a certain amount. When 'barthurs' bid, he must have been under 'silentseven's bid amount. So 'barthurs' upped his bid a little bit, but was still under 'silentseven', so he upped again. 'barthurs' keeps increasing his bid a little bit at a time. A strange way to bid for sure.


I'm not experienced with how Ebay works, but I looked at the bid history on this item, since there had already been 14 bids. I noticed a bunch of bids 30 minutes apart all by the same bidder. Why would somebody repeatedly outbid themselves? This same guy outbids other people, too. It's just driving the price up for no reason -?

Tight fit for E28, but I believe some have done it. Can't beat the price.
