Basketball Need some opinions on this:

[HiEnd]

I'm trying to figure out if the seller messed with the auction to jack the price

Notice the $5200 bid and retraction within 25 seconds of each other,and then the item gets bid on with 5 seconds left to oddly just exactly $10 to the penny under my max

eBay.com Item Bid History

The guy who placed the huge bid has 0 feedbacks and 8 bid retractions??

I can understand him placing the wrong amount - $5200...
Maybe he wanted to bid $520 but I can't understand why he didn't rebid with the correct amount.

Seems fishy to me.

Exaaaactly why I'm wondering

100% seller monkeying with the price - he has 8 retractions in the past 6 months and 100% bidding on the sellers items.

Since Ebay screwed buyers (and sellers, but that is a different conversation) by hiding bidders ID's it makes it difficult to spot shill bidders, but this is too obvious.....unfortunately there is little if anything you can do about it
