If this is not obvious shill bidding, i do not know what is. Look at all of their auctions running. This really erks me to no end....I really like this glove too....oh well

Don't know why they would need a shill for this glove, I thought it would go high anyway.

Or maybe it's a crafty bidder with Multible user names making it appear to be shill bidding to scare off people like me eh?

The other auctions look suspect as well. Guess people with no feedback like to bid on these guys auctions! :shock:

My guess is the seller doesn't really want to sell, just test the market value of the glove. Sharp glove though. I love black leather.

Perhaps it's just the bidder's lack of experience with ebay. Early on in my own bidding past I would bid up only a few dollars at a time in the hopes that I would land something cheaper.

I've since learned a few tricks. Now I know to wait and bid huge to win!

I agree. It would seem that they are test bidding to figure out the max bid. Something a new ebay-er might do.
