    If you click at the bid history and then click at the highest bidder it says "bid activity at this seller 100%", which means to me it is somebody only bidding at this guy.
    You can think what you want but if I see this in an ongoing auction I usually stop bidding.
    Almost everytime this happened (with the 100% bidders) the same auction was started a week later again.
    Doesn't this make you think?
    I wonder if this Minx appears again at ebays? Keep it under watched items and then it will show the message the seller has started the auction again...

    The dimensions shown in the add are NOT for a Minx.

    Ad says 21' long: Real life it's 20'1"

    Ad says 10' beam: Real life it's 7'0".

    But hey, what's in a number..??

    That's exactly what it is saying, which doesn't really tell that much. Anybody's bid history that is bidding on only one item at a time will say the same thing. Only when you're bidding on multiple items at the same time will your bid percentage change.

    It could still be a shill bidder of course. The boat is listed here and on local CL for $12k. But how many times have we seen boats get relisted because someone just didn't have cash or they didn't like what they eventually saw in person. THAT happens all the time....
    Thanks,
