I've been bidding on a pair of NIB XS in plasma with polarized fire...The other guy was keeping his bid increments low and so was I. Most others had dropped out by the $175 mark. I had the highest bid in with 8 hours to go at $205 shipped. Not a steal but a pretty good deal for NIB polarized. I wake up this morning and see he out bid me at around $230. I was fine with it because I wasn't dying for them and probably would have sold or traded them here in a few weeks anyways. I let it go and the other guy won. I get an email today from the seller for the "second chance" at my highest bid of $225 +$7 shipped. I smelled a rat. According to the seller, the other bidder couldn't pay his highest offer even though he was in the bid war from the beginning. I may be wrong but I absolutely feel that it was a shill bid and dude was just trying to up his price since the auction was probably a loss at $205. Anonymous bidding is a great way to scam people and up the auction prices. I'm just venting but that really pisses me off. I sent him a counter offer of like $195 and told him what I thought so who knows, maybe I'll get them anyways for cheaper than my actual highest bid.
