discuss Questionable Flippa Bidding

[Casey L]

I stumbled upon a user on Flippa who has two domains on separate 30 day auctions. Within a day of each other, both auctions hit prices which are apparently just under the reserve prices. Normally this might not phase me, but the prices are uneven enough, and possibly unjustified enough, to raise an eyebrow. While the person is doing no harm having reserve prices set, selling the names, and announcing such news, it just seemed fishy to me.

Just wanted to get some other thoughts on this and anyone else's encounters with potential shill bidding

Shill bidding... This happens everyday on Flippa...Just right under the nose... You can't do anything, neither the director of domains will do anything... That marketplace is just full of sharks....
