I keep on seeing accusations that people intentionally bid high on auctions with no intentions to pay, just to raise the price. This is not an accusation or slam at anyone, but do people really do this?? What happens if you win the bid? You either have to pay, or else get negative feedback, and a lot of people won't accept bids from those with negative feedback anymore? Is this just a random accusation, or is there really a basis for making these claims? I mean really! - I just won a cel for a LOT more than I thought it would go, but I feel confident that the other bidder(s) were as sincere in wanting it as I was! I find it hard to believe that someone just raised the price out of spite - and it would really piss me off to find out it was true. On a related note - has anyone heard of any problems with a dealer bidding on their own item, in another name, just to raise the price? I've heard of it happening in other auctions before. Az
