It is over $1000.00. I noticed there are a lot of people bidding on expensive stuff with no bid record. There is a zero by there name. Is this a new bidder at something E bay lets happen ???

The zero feedback bidder is the same guy. He has bid multiple times. The rest of the bidders look normal.

I could be wrong but my spidey sense tells me that our brand new bidder is there to protect the investment, since his only bids ever have been with this seller.melvind wrote:The zero feedback bidder is the same guy. He has bid multiple times. The rest of the bidders look normal.

Very unusual though for a newbie to place multiple bids on a single extremely specialist high value item....mariof wrote:Hmmm EVERYBODY who has an eBay account has had 0 feedback at some point, even phonograph collectors.

Unless it's someone who doesn't normally use eBay and joined specifically to buy this. Could go either way, there's really no way to tell.gramophone-georg wrote:...and ONLY on that item.stevel wrote:Very unusual though for a newbie to place multiple bids on a single extremely specialist high value item....mariof wrote:Hmmm EVERYBODY who has an eBay account has had 0 feedback at some point, even phonograph collectors.

Sold for $5600.00 to an experienced bidder. Zero bidder almost took it all the way with a $5500.00 bid. I did not think it would go that high but hopefully it will end up in a nice museum ..Tom B
