No, he's added bids to counter-bid the bidder who's now disappeared, so they'll be stacked bids which will be activated if anyone else comes in at a later stage. 

 

Err, do you know how that works?

The same bidder now appears to be bidding £320 several times.

Other bidders have come in 12/13Dec since the high bid was £135.  Someone has now bid £310 so the ebay system auto generates a bid at £320.  All his higher bids will also show £320 until at least one new bid outbids his lowest bid.

 

 

Edit:  Just noticed his lowest stacked bid had already come in: £250 - 6 Dec 2019 at 7:11:30PM GMT,  i***i (with a score of 25) then put in bids of £270 and £310 causing the next higher stacked bid to get triggered, which may be £320 or something higher.  We won't know how high unless/until someone bids in excess of say £330.

Now showing as £195 with 3 days to go.  There must have been a “correction” in the bidding.

It looks like about £11 or so per item. From this side of the deep puddle it does not look so bad; but then I do not know the real value of the items listed.

A Mainline J72; I'm not sure how else to introduce this, but I recognise the name of the vendor:

Kit-built, weathered ... fifty pounds?

 

Weathered?

 

Is there a polite technical expression that covers "so extremely weathered that it looks like it's been in Barry Scrapyard for five years, and used as a roost by all the local pigeons."

for Gostude that is not bad but it unusual in that he hasn't said who did the weathering  :jester:  Normally it has been done by a "professional"  so this one was done by an amateur.

What, the weathering or the price?

The description.. the price is ridiculous and the weathering is totally Carp!

 

A friend in the trade asked me to mend a loco.. A Wills Flatiron painted LMS Black. As part of the repair I had to refit and repaint the rear of the cab. I then relined it.. he said " painted by a professional".... wow!

At least he has produced a list.  Many sales like this  just include a few photos for details leaving a potential buyer to guess.

I wonder if r***6 is a shill?

My thoughts exactly, especially with the bids he was putting in, if he wanted to win he would have gone xx1 so he was just in front not xx9 which would put him just behind.

I remember a business seller who used a shill. He would scatter a few auctions at 99p amongst his BIN items then a couple of days later his business associate put on a bid which was close to the BIN price for similar items. No feedback ever exchanged between the two of them when nobody outbid the shill then the item would reappear a few weeks later.
