I don't see it in some quick searches.
Looking at https://www.ebay.com/itm/312541584677 (currently-running auction for 2 tubes in Sandwich, IL), the opening bid was for $75 from a well-established user. There was then a bidding war between two 6-feedback accounts that ran it up to the current $380. However, those two bidders *appear* to be on the up-and-up.

The second bidder won 2, lost 2 auctions. 20% of bids were with the seller of this item (not entirely unreasonable, given they've only bid on 4 prior auctions). [This is not any "secret information", it is something any eBay user can do.] If there is evidence of any sockpuppet bidding or other impropriety (including image theft), let me know and I'll see that it gets to the right people to do something about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
