[meteorite-list] strange people
Hello list, any one on the list a psychiatrist? If so, can you explain why there is a bidder on this?

Re: [meteorite-list] strange people
Tom, Hard to say... the seller could not tell me if the item was attracted to a magnet. This auction is limited to Australia. The seller and bidder are in Australia. The Great British Meteorite Hunt ended with over 1,000 suspect meteorite reports being submitted. Of 100 checked, only one real meteorite was found in the lot: http://www.open2.net/astronomy/isitameteorite/questions.htm Since then end of the Hunt an increased number of wrongs have been showing up in the UK. (H:) The following auction : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2294138814 was one in which the seller was caught shill bidding their wrong and kicked off ebay. Perhaps a possible scenario. Then again, perhaps not. Best, Ken http://home.earthlink.net/~magellon/IDWEB.html IMCA#9632 Tom AKA James Knudson wrote: Hello list, any one on the list a psychiatrist?

Re: [meteorite-list] strange people
Something looks very fishy about the seller and bidder. Note that the bidder on the meteorite has also bid on the coin and the guitar setup-- and those are the ONLY three items he has bid on in the past 30 days. His only feedback point is from July 2003. So I don't think I would be making too much of a leap to say that dawson422 bid on the meteorite because he and jong0304 are the same person. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] strange people
Dear Ken, I contacted this yard bird a few days ago noting the classification issue and that it looked questionable with out classification and that the piece probably was way over priced for a questionable rock not confirmed to be meteorite so he knows it is a suspicious item... He played the game of getting it classified/offered to have it done as a condition of salami doubt that this is anything other than a scam but new to this joker.

Any time you see the seller and bidder(s) have a feedback of 1 or lessthat's a pretty good indication of shill bidding. But, then again half the links I hit went to some peregine flier site. ;-) (Just kidding Tom).
