I agree, always suspect when the winning bidder has no feedback. the seller will have 2 or more accounts and he/she will be bidding to 'up' the price. considering the write up about it and they state �20 a fair price theres sumthing up i hardly use e-bay these days as there is to many 'crooks ' out there

i would always be weary about buying a laptop off ebay, my only experence of doing so was winning an auction for a "like new" laptop, when i went to pay and collect the laptop had scratches all over it and the battery looked like it had taken a physical pounding. on a product like a laptop make sure the feedback is really high and really positive. there seems to be more dodgy laptop sales than pritty much anything else on ebay

WTF, final price was �195, for a possibly compleatly fooked lappy?

some people have too much money.

well if the seller was bidding to up the price it looks as if he bid one time too many :tongue

2 0 feedback bidders both joined within 2 days of each other both with generic locations mmmmm...

Then again people will only pay what they think something is worth.

Shill bidding is part of the ebay way, not that I do it, my stuff is all buy it nows.

It makes me laugh tho that someone bid �1.11 - I never understand people who put in bids like that.

i'l usually do that on my final bid but not for such low amounts i think i won my last item by 1p ( no point in paying more than i need

)
