wouldn't be the first time bidders and sellers have some sort of relationship (including being the same person with a different email address). Multiple Personality Disorder runs rampart on Ebay ;-)

UNBELIEVABLE!

jamie is right.

In fact, look at the picture in the ebay ad and then the picture from the Premier web site. The ebay ad pictures have the Premier building photeshopped. You can still see the same window frames and the sign and other items poorly blurred out. These guy's have *****.

Another example of why you need to tread carefully on through the ebay jungle. Nice find jamie!

Nice!

My email to them :

"it's one thing to bid up your own auctions - it's another to get caught on the nation's largest 996 board!

Woopsie!"

Obviously, Premier is playing fast and furious with ebay's regulations. Moves like these are common are just an update of common sales ploys used for decades before the net. More reason to view ebay as a classified ad and treat the bidding process with caution.

Goes to show the intellegence of these people. They are not even smart enough to remove their name from the post. How about setting up a different ebay user name. We are talking about the creme de la creme of people here

.These guys are really shooting low, with their type of intelligence it a wonder they are not engineering our next great air force jet to replace the F15!! What morons!
