Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for May 10, 2013

Now we have a bid from ZipperonDoonesbury!!

The funny thing is Hammy will loose the bid anyway.

And e-bay makes a percantage of that outrageous sum!

“eleventy jillion,,,now thats a lot of money.”But it’s in Turkish lira. It’s about a buck and a half.

It seems every time I want to bid on something on ebay, there’s always bids coming from bidders with zero transactions. I believe it’s called ‘shill bidding’. It’s against the rules, but ebay can’t really stop it.

re: Black4dderZero transactions……the first time you bid on something you had a history of zero transactions. If I was to go on ebay today and bid on something, I would have a history of zero transactions. We all have to start somewhere. Or did you start in the middle somehow?

Maybe it’s Sammy bidding.

Bet there’s going to be a bid from RatsPalPig30 . . .

This one reminds me of an old reference I saw to imaginary numbers, like eleventeen and thirty-twelve.

Today’s comic made me smile.

Thank-you TrustedMechanic, that’s it exactly. These vendors make a big deal about having no reserved, but then a zero transaction bidder shows up in the last two minutes to aggressively bid. It still comes down to knowing your price and not getting ducked into over-paying.
