Hahaha...

He's listing the auction this way so that he doesn't have to pay a high price on listing fees. When you create a "Buy It Now" auction. The listing fees are based on a percentage of the price you list the item at. So for $1.00 it's next to nothing and he just charges $250.00 for shipping. I can see so many paypal dispute loopholes in this that it's ridiculous…

This Mexican dude is a goner. If there is anything for which eBay acts lightningfast and bans sellers, it is for scrounging fees. First person to report him would get his ass kicked out.

Yeah, I've been watching the auctions all day long ... Because of 2 CDs, and I only got 1 of them (+ another one) :)

Really crazy prices, leaving thallos on the other hand mostly without bids at all :D Let's watch that Uncle Slam CD now ...

Because the Say Uncle was only pressed in Japan and is much harder to find than the other two.

This one is probably the most insane out of drgoon_jpn's auctions considering its normal value:

i have heard momojirou is ex-staff of DISK HEAVEN (the famous Heavy Metal Shop in Tokyo). hinomoto1 is collector and run his own shop. drgoon_jpn and pricekillers001 is just collector. i have no idea about other Japanese sellers.

by the way, momojirou and drgoon_jpn is friend each other. i have no idea if it is shill bid or not, but momojirou used to bid on drgoon_jpn's CDs.

and also momojirou used to bid on kreator72's CDs and hammerheart44 (aka kreator72) bid on momojirou's CDs.

and randomcoils (aka thallos81) bid on pricekillers001's CDs.

considering they bid rarely on other seller's items, it looks like some strange. i guess they have some deals. :D

and back to topic, Tokyo / Japan is heavy metal paradise. i have been there several times to haunt rare CDs. it is not strange that they continue to sell rare CDs if they haunt CDs almost every day.

Yeah, this is called shill-bidding and explain how they are able to sell everything for crazy prices. On the other hand every time their shilling buddy ends up "winning" a CD the seller have to pay the full final value fees to eGay, so this really puts a dent on their profits. A loose-loose situation for both the seller and buyer, huge WIN for eGay...

Yes, so that leads us to the conclusion that they are in fact all employees of ebay! :D

Well, the bottom line is that these guys are still collectors as well.

So from time to time if something pops up that they want, I'm sure they bid on it regardless.
