Hello All,
I had noticed CRAZY prices on a couple of junk globes on Ebay. Item numbers 200633348938 and 130550736876 . When I clicked on them to check out the descriptions and who was bidding, I see it is the same person (with a feedback of 1) bidding up themselves?! I didn't think this was possible to do. Anyone have any ideas on how this bidding is happening other than the dude is looney for bidding crazy money on broken globes?

Wish I knew who he was and his number as i could make him a package deal on some broken globes.
Originals only for me. Always looking for Simpson oil, Super A, and MFA oil cans and globes.

Could be that there was a reserve on the globes which wasn't met until his last bid.

That would make sense. I don't generally bid on reserve items so I wasn't familiar with how that would work. I've found from watching reserve auctions that most have unrealistic reserves to "protect their investments".

I agree with you Darin. I hardly ever mess with "reserve" auctions either.

No kidding, I'd sell him an Un-broken Crown w/ paint & an Un-broken Shell for that kind of money w/ postage.

That's what I was thinking Dick....Those are prices that should be paid for NICE originals of either globe!

Differently wouldn't pay $300 for BOTH to use on outside pumps.
