Re:My first EBay Atomic bid... - 2007/05/13 13:42 Good luck? Thanks. If only.

There is something fishy about EBay and some of the processes involved.

I was watching another auction concurrently from AUS that was an obvious fake.
Frederick and I approached the seller and his reply was:
"Kiss my ass..."
Nice.

I bid 170$ on the Canadian auction and overnight it
went up to 360$ on anonymous bids...
Anonymous bids? What is that all about?
Is that the owner bidding up his own item?
I dunno.

I have yet to buy an ebay item because virtually
all the items on Ebay are artificially high driven
up people people with little sense of value and
little comprehension of reality.

This theory of mine was pressed home when a gal
checked in with me after she bought an immaculate Atomic at a local Value Village... for $15.

Now I am not saying that ATOMIC coffee makers are NOT worth 300 or 400$.
I am saying that there is a total air of
artificiality about items like these.
The price is high because of the absurd behavior of Atomic owners that feel that they are the cat's patoot.

My 2-cents worth.
