Parartrooper value

[JimF4M1s (Deceased)]

If you get a shill bidder to win it so you can keep it, you'll still have to pay all fees including 'final value' which will be considerable. If you try to claim 'non-paying bidder', you have to throw your shill friend under the bus. You see, it really just gets uglier and uglier, like if your shill doesn't win it but succeeds in driving the price up, and Gunbroker discovers the relationship between you and the shill.
When you start a basic auction and a bidder meets your price, the item is sold. I would be packing it up if I were you.

Having someone bid and win it, and then paying all the selling fees, not trying to claim non-paying bidder, then buying it back from him is not shill bidding. Shill bidding is to intentionally drive up the price of an item to increase a sales value. Gun Broker gets their fees. That would be his penalty to keep the gun. maybe or maybe not worth it.
Personally I think just letting the sale go through it's course, he will get a fair value for it. Probably more then it is worth.

Probably more then it is worth…..I never thought about that saying before, but how can it sell for more than its’ worth if someone paid that for it.


I agree with those of the mindset that you should not cancel the auction once someone bids on the item.
