Every item I clicked on is way, way overpriced. Who would bid on such items? A Maizora Dreamcast for 1800 GBP (they usually go for half that)? A MegaCD for 200+ GBP?

I hate dishonest sellers, but anyone paying those prices is asking to get ripped off.

Wow, now I see why you say this is shill bidding. It certainly looks that way.

[Starwander]

All the users’ bids are with the same seller. Furthermore look at the number of times the user is bidding on the same lot, 64 times on one lot! This seller has some shady stuff going on.

This isn't the first time people have run into trouble with Noel. See this thread:

Apparently others have caught on:

This is absolutely shilling and nice work finding it out. Hopefully they'll give this guy the boot (not like he can't re-reg with a different bank account later).

[megasdkirby]

Right now it's at 10,000 pounds!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Vroomfunkel]

i'm pretty sure i recognise the photos in his Aiwa Mega CD auction from a previous eBay sale a while back. Despite the good feedback he's got, I can't help but have a slightly untoward feeling about some of these auctions ..

Right now it's at 10,000 pounds!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I must be a millionaire! A lot of terrible cheap games in that lot, a few good ones but even $1000 would be sorely pushing it (way overpriced).

And 1 more reason that Ebay is not a reliable price guide.

[megasdkirby]

Well, the auction ended.

How long before he relists?
