<p>[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1092776, member: 26972"]naaaaa... depends on what side of the bed I wake up on. Today, I decided to post on here rather than report. I sort of think it's a ying and yang thing..... if you believe in karma........then....... I try not to let it bother me too much, because I am purposely searching for certain types of listings/sellers and throwing low ball numbers out, some times early, sometimes a late snipe, sometimes I check back, sometimes I don't. The point is, I feel like it's bottom feeding, sort of the opposite of what the occasional lonely seller is doing when he pushes his bid with activity whether it be his initial bid or the creeper showing activity or flat out schill bidding. BTW - for those that don't know this, it doesn't take many bids to appear at the top of "view items with most bids".. Creating a "herd mentality" is slick and it works. </p><p><br /></p><p>It just really bugs me when I didn't get that $400 coin for $100 cause the seller was the only other interested party! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate the thoughts everyone wrote.
