"Just took a look at that auction... the whole thing looks like a scam to me.
There are
7 bids, price is up to $537, and the only people bidding are "Bidder 1",
"Bidder 2", and
(yep, you guessed it) "Bidder 3".
I don't have any idea about whether it is a scam or not, but the references
to
Bidder 1, Bidder 2, etc are something EBay has started doing. It has
something
to do with providing more detailed bidding history without disclosing the ID
of
the bidder to help prevent scams and prank bidders. The seller and of course
the bidder who placed the bid can see the real user names who placed the bid.

[Thanks for the input, Matt. I wasn't aware of the new bid history policy... I don't
usually look at bid information on auctions I'm not participating in. Learn something
here every day. <marv> ]
