Michael, they did apologize already. They did not realize it was Geoff.

Don and Greg,
You DO know the seller is Geoff Notkin, don't you? I can
Only assume you do NOT know it is Geoff.....
Such speculation is ludicrous in this case..... And very careless of
You. Comments that would sullying someone's reputation are
nothing to take lightly! Shame on you both for such comments
Either you made these comments out of negligence in failing to note
Who the seller is or FAR WORSE, you would dare to make such
Remarks regarding Geoff.
Please let us know if it is mere carelessness or actually an
accusation regarding Geoff.
Please, Speak out on this list - both of you - and not in a private
post. Your comments were public and your response should be public.
Sincerely, Michael Blood

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Another crazy bidder on ebay
The fact that one individual bidder has 0 feedback and that many bids on one
item in that span of time, leads me to feel that maybe a form of bid rigging
is taken place. At least that's what would catch my eye and put my guard up.
Now that the price is where the seller wants it, it would not surprise me
that Mr. 0 feedback will not bid again. If I was the high bidder I would
retract my bid this way Mr. 0 would be high bidder! I could be wrong on all
this but I have seen this game before on several occasions.
Here is a link to a news source in which an eBay bidder was arrested and
charged with bidding on his own auctions because he said they were lower
then expected...he even admits creating another account with name to do this
bidding rigging!

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=170585023324
current bid is at $180 for a 2.3g complete oriented Bassikounou H5
chondrite
granted Geoff's offering is a pristine example of flight orientation of an
OC, but would anybody in their right mind bid $79/g? FWIW, this 'new' guy
has 0 feedback.
