Do I smell something fishy?

Saw this SuperHawk auction ended with a great price. So what, someone got a good deal right? I thought so too but then buyers name caught my eye since I also have a vtec. So.....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...1574070&rd=1,1

I clicked his feedback and see that he's "bought" from this same dealership before. Mere co-inky-dink or shill bidder? Hmmm. ALL the sellers negative feedback deals with bogus motorcycle sales and their very first ebay sale was to Mr. vtec. More hmmmm.

Maybe I'm just too cynical. Anyone ever deal with this dealership?

Maybe a little fishy, but the two items this buyer won are years apart...I look for similar inconsistancies with the buyer and seller...Could be a case of shill bidding, you can report it to Ebay and have them check out the IP address for buyer and seller...Of course you will never know what they find...and if the seller is at a diff computer/location even in the same town it won't matter...

If not, then he paid tooo much for that bike....of course I would like to see the prices go up on these things...

Seems alright to me. I try to be careful about that sort of thing. I can't see myself ever buying anything as expensive as a vechicle online. If I did though it would only be a payment on delivery type thing.
