Rob's Newest Ebay Gripe ARGH!!!

[rbudrick]

Hi Guys,

Check out the bid history on this auction I won for a rare CD:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAP...tem=2562676171

I mean, it's so obvious (though not provable, I know) the seller set up some newb accounts just to get the bidding up. I mean, I payed the max (to the penny) what I ensiped, but I hate when people pull crap like that...I don't care about the money, it's just the principle. It's so easy to bid up your own auction and then seperate yourself from it like that.

Well, I suppose a lot of newbs/younguns who don't know better do indeed bid on CKY/Jackass/Brandon Dicamillo stuff quite a lot, but it just seems that didn't happen here. It is a rare CD...it just seems like he wanted no one to win so he could drive up the value of the CD. $%^#@&$*#@ing jerk!

Lol, just thought I'd vent, guys. Muchas Gracias.

It could be a couple of pussy bidders, but you're probably on the right track. Oh well. Not much you can do about that sort of thing.

Dude, I was watching that same auction. I was gonna bid but I didn't get home in time to snipe it. Congrats on winning it though, you lucky bastard. I downloaded some of the tracks off it and it's totally hilarious (my favs are the Arnold rap and Maze Of Mystery) Maybe when all the CKY hype dies down, I'll be able to afford one.

BTW, I don't know if it was a shill, but you still got a nice deal on it. I remember seeing Otimen go for $100+ earlier this summer.

I don't know about that mikoyo person, but that sledgeomatic1 person looks like a shill bidder to me...

It seems like every time I turn around someone is accusing someone else of shill bidding. I really doubt that it's going on quite as often as people seem to say it is.

I'm sure that shilling happens from time to time but I'm also sure that there's just a lot of people who just bid like that (a few bucks more at a time until they find the high bid). Sure it doesn't make sense but a lot of new buyers don't know better.

That's really funny. You should seriously think about getting the new Gnarkill CD and the movie Haggard (and all the CKY videos), from transitionstore.com. It's quite possible to die laughing from this stuff. The Gnarkill CD was originally released on Vinyl, which I bought....they jusy rereleased it on CD with a couple different tracks...weird, cuz I just noticed this tonight and bought one! I can send you the other track sometime from the vinyl too....I dumped them.

What the hell is Maze of Mystery about?!! I just can't figure that one out!

PULL OUT THE HORN, BENNET! PULL OUT THE HOOOOORN!!!

Yeah, that Arnold Workout Routine is HILARIOUS.

I love the Van Damme one and the Skeletor/Beastman stuff!

"Silence, Fool, now get tin that cooking pot! And sake your ass, and move it so damn slow. I like the way it works, Beastman, you know just how it goes!"

Fucking quality prose!
