i always watch an item i want and bid @ the last 20 seconds or so.

Report shill bidding to Ebay if you know or suspect it is just that. Puts people in check.

I would be willing to go in on the first lord. However, I'm REALLY concerned about shill bidding like Mke and Brendan eluded to.

Zero and 3 rating bidders over $400 bids? Seems very suspect to me.

I'm sure this seller is looking for top dollars for these lords, probably $100.00 per polyp if he/she doesn't get it i'm sure they will end the auction.

I personally never worry about Shill Bidding, i put in the max i want to pay, and if i don't win it what can you do

You da man.

FYI, I did submit a report about the bidding. You might not care about the shill bidding Steven, but it is wrong and could be part of the reason for these artificially exhorbitant prices. If I'm wrong about it, ebay will do nothing about it. If correct, maybe something will happen.

Understood Russ, i just know for a fact how much those lords go for and it has nothing to do with Ebay.
