There's only three bidders, bidding multiple times, and the first bidder (perhaps Mr. Barlow) is the high bidder.

That you came here to point this out smells funny. Like spam.

Those fake bids have to be the lamest fraud ever. 'Bidder 3' is even bidding AGAINST HIMSELF .. raising the price when there have been no other counter bids.

Everyone, do the world a favour. Read the listing.

If you think that it is one of the most blatant shill bidding frauds ever, go to: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/seller-shill-bidding.html

And click on 'Report This'.

The item# is: 320126848025
The seller is: evolvenetworks (Scott Simon Barlow)
You can't see the user IDs behind the fake bids, but simply enter 'Bidder 1, Bidder 2, Bidder 3' in the part where it asks you.

Scott: Do yourself a favour - read the e-bay FAQ on the subject of FRAUD and shill bidding.

What you have done is illegal. I wish you well though. Hopefully your ethics will improve.

For what my opinion's worth, I think the occasional thread like this should be left.

This was obviously placed by a human, rather than machine, and I suspect if the human had seen a couple of other threads like this they'd think twice before trying to sock-puppet here.

It has to be one of the most miss-aimed sock puppet in history, though.
People here tend to be working on their OWN projects .. not BUYING other people's project. Why would anyone think that someone here would buy someone else's screenplay, site unseen?

Damn, this puts a nail in one of my more clever plans to sell a script, I'll have to think of something else.
