Think this guy is going to be upset when he finds out that the bids aren't real. Has happened to me twice since I have began selling. Accounts hacked into.

Holy Moly. I've been sick to my stomach a couple of times when I paid $200 for an old can.

I have bought several cans from this seller in the past and I am sure there was no shill bidding going on at their end. I bought both my K400 cans from her. She has been selling old oil cans on ebay for several years as her grandfather sold oil and they had many cases of oil left over from him stashed in their barn. This had to be two crazier bidders going at it or something. I am sure she has more of these K400 cans.

Im sure she is a honest seller. But with numbers like that on a k400 can it makes one wonder.I should have known it wasn't shill because that would be pushing shilling to the limit. Looks like we found a new Barett Jackson can. Crazy is right!

It was not shill bidding. The high bidder made a mistake entering his bid amount and is not being held to the final bid price. This much I have on good authority.

However, the reasoning for the back-up person bidding this can up incrementally to that ridiculous selling amount is still a mystery. Could be a hacked account, a kid playing around, or somebody that absolutely had to have that can at any price.


I offer quart can re-lidding, can rolling, lid stamping, and dent removal.
