Somebody is getting "burned" pretty big time! Several of these notes have sold recently on Heritage in the 350 to 750$ range. They are worth nowhere near what this current note is currently selling for on ebay. Might be some shilling going on. |

I could get a nice 1923 'Pokerchip' AND a 1905 'Technicolor' for that money.

Hasn't moved off of 62 bids since 5pm yesterday. Maybe people are reading this thread. Perhaps the high bidder desperately wants someone to outbid them!

I suspect that the current high bidder on this item is the leading shill. His bidding activity has been 100% with this Seller. That raises a huge red flag in my mind. From what I can see there are probably at least two shillers working this item.
Once they have a "fish" bidder in 2nd place the current high bidder will most likely retract his bids (or have the Seller cancel his bids) That will move the 2nd place bidder into first place and bring down the high bid to just above the second shillers "max" bid. It'll probably all happen the day before the auction ends.
Unless the "fish" bidder catches on he is gonna get fried!

Still no further activity, just under 11 hours to go. I agree with the likeliness of this piece being shilled up. It will be interesting to see the final hammer price.

Computer bidding gone way wrong!?

It could be some auto programmed computer bidding by some newby uninformed bidder who placed a ridiculous "max" bid to make sure they win. If so...."ouch" when they discover what they have done!

For anyone that didn't see, the final price was $3,383.33. Somebody's going to be mad when they realize how badly they were ripped off.

I'm sorry, but, if you are that dumb to spend that kind of money for that, then you deserve to be ripped off...  I'm more amazed that they are smart enough even to have that kind of money in the first place...  Edited by Bryan78

Regardless of how overbid this note was... it IS awesome. Not $3k awesome but still. The scary part about this is that if this is a legit sale, it could affect the market since ebay is the common man's gauge of market price these days. Woof. |

The note selling for 10x what it sold for on ebay last month? Up to 31 other notes from the same sheet possibly coming to market? Almost a half million page views during the auction? Several bidders (and the "winning" bidder!) all having 100% of their bidding activity only with this Seller? I have serious doubts that this "auction" (or whatever it was) will impact the error currency marketplace values. Time will tell. |

Could the seller just be trying to raise the value of this note through his shill bidding? The sale doesn't go through and when it is offered for sale again there is proof out there that it recently sold for over 3K.
