OK, it seems an obvious one. One person, the seller, puts and expensive item on ebay for a bargain price. Like Proac D15's for Â£1100. They have someone else, for example, a wife, who also joins ebay. Some unknown punter, say me, puts in a bid for the speakers which have been listed for a second time. and then I'm outbid.
The mistake in this case was to say that the speakers were being sold for a wedding. a quick check on the new highest bidder revealed that SHE joined ebay a week after the seller, and strangely had just spent alot of money on ebay buying items for a wedding.
Now, am I beginning to smell a rat or what...
