I posted 2 minimum bids on eBay last week. One was $23 for a cordless Dremel Minimite with free shipping, and the other was $25 for a used digital pedometer/speedometer/odometer that I needed to clock top speeds with.
The Dremel is sitting here now, opened package but brand new.
There were no other bids on either item.
20 minutes before the speedometer auction ended, there was a bid of $42.
Come on!!! From $25 to $42? No doubt he had a friend put in the bid so I wouldn't get it cheap, and if I wanted it with a higher bid, he would get about what he hoped for. Half price.
 
I only purchase items on eBay that have "Buy it Now" or I try and snipe the item in the last couple of seconds.
 
Hmmmmm, no pants, you live next to the bathroom, a lipo ban stick, and are buying pedo-meters on ebay. It's all starting to make sense. :hehe:
 
What he's gonna use the Dremel for is what really scares me. :whhooo:
 
I have 2 eBay accounts *shhhh* ;) and I bid up my own items. :) Muahahaha.

That's called shill bidding and is against ebay rules. I hope ya get caught and they delete both your accounts!, it's people that don't play by the rules that is ruining ebay. Between cheaters and fees ebay sucks now! :angry:
 
LOL Some one is busted!

Rolex has weird priorities. A dremil to clean ears, pedometer to walk 3 steps to use the bathroom and a blinged out rc that will never get drivin, sits behind a computer all day without pants. Umm is it me or is rolex have weird priorities? jk rolex
 
I've been working on the Savage for 3 days. That's what the speedometer is for. There's a brand new one on the way.
YES, it will run soon. :whhooo::celebrate:
 
What I like is it jumps like crazy in the last 3 seconds and you lose the item. An hour later you see the exact SAME item re-listed. Good try ass-hat.
 
I have had many sellers do this crap to me, I report them and eBay does nothing! I also report ass hats that try to sell an item for $1.00 and charge $300.00 for shipping and ebay still does nothing......Thank you ebay!

Getting on your hands and knees and pushing it while making a vrooom sound does not count as it running ;)

Assbent because a low life thinks he is too good to play by the rules, nah, I would report ya to ebay myself, but they don't care because of ass clowns that cheat the system they make more money. This is why I won't "bid", no buy it now, and I move on. But I'm glad you feel good about yourself being a cheat and a liar, more power to ya.
