Recently I was bidding on a few Timeshares on Ebay.One that I really wanted just kept on going up every time I bid. It was a private which started out at $1.00. When it got to the point I was getting ready to put my final bid in, with a snip, my snip showed me the high PRIVATE BIDDER was the listing person. After the auction ended I exchanged emails with the lister and you wouldn't believe the s*** stories he told me. He avoided every question I hit him with of him being his own SHILL. Try your snip on these auction and you may be as SURPRISED as I was.I even asked him, after he told me it was to avoid second chance offers, why my name was the only one showing up. This question he never even addressed. I will NEVER BID ON ANY PRIVATE BID AUCTION AGAIN. Ron
