MAYBE YOU MISSED THE "1700 MEMBERS" POST A FEW WEEKS BACK. WE GET NEW MEMBERS EVERYDAY AND WE GOT 8 NEW MEMBERS YESTERDAY WHO CLEARLY JOINED JUST TO BID ON THE OVERSIZED POSTERS MAYBE YOU THINK I SHOULD START OUT MY BIDDERS WITH A FEEDBACK RATING OF 100 OR MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE IT 500, SO THAT THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN WINNING STUFF FOR A LONG TIME I GUESS HUH?? WHAT WAS YOUR FEEDBACK THE FIRST TIME YOU BID? WAS IT 100 OR 500 OR WAS IT A BIG FAT "ZERO" JUST LIKE THE FEEDBACK SCORE OF SAMIAM EVEN FURTHER, MPB HAS MANY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED FOR YEARS - SOME SINCE 2004 - AND STILL HAVE A 0 RATING BECAUSE THEY HAVE BOUGHT NOTHING IN ALL THOSE YEARS. ONE GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE BUYER WHO WON THE FERRIS BUELLER POSTER IN JANUARY. REGISTERED IN 2004.. WON HIS FIRST POSTER IN 2010 YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR SPREADING UNFOUNDED COMMENTS LIKE THIS BULLSHIT AND YES YOUR COMMENT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT BECAUSE IT IS ENTIRELY WITHOUT MERIT. YOUR COMMENT IS 10,000% BULLSHIT THERE IS NO SHILL BIDDING GOING ON, ON MOVIEPOSTERBID.COM AND YOUR FOUNDATION (OR BASIS) FOR CLAIMING THERE IS IS SO WITHOUT MERIT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU COULD EMBARRASS YOURSELF WITH SUCH COMMENTS IN THIS PUBLIC FORUM RICH At 03:35 AM 4/15/2010, Douglas Ball wrote: I've bid on email auctions now for the last 11 years almost daily. Also every time a new bidder to the system may bid this way until they get the hang of things, but one thing they almost never do is drive an item up that high, one small amount at a time... a lack of trust. Once they are relaxed with the auctions and the sellers they will then start to set reserves for themselves. >This bidder (if a true bidder), only objective was to drive the price of this >poster up hoping that I would go even higher.
