I'm having a hard time figuring this one out, any ideas? I think it's time to clear some inventory.

Holy Cow! Anodized gold...what won't they think of next...

...$55 for a $35 part? And the bidding is ongoing? Holy Moly, Batman, I'm sitting on a small fortune in aluminum. Might have to buy a few new ones, scratch them up some and make a profit

Kinda what I was thinking.

I just compared it to the one I have, same red anodizing, and when held at a similar angle, looks exactly the same, but with fewer scratches. I agree, Chad, maybe it is time to sell the DR stuff. At those prices one should make more than enough to purchase new replacement cases, and an extra ya didn't have before.......

Red, round, knobby, threaded thing-a-ma-bob! I wonder what I can get for a wing nut?

Someone overbid. I have 6-8 I will sell them.

Not that this person is doing it.. But you should check this sellers completed listings and look for shill bidding.

Anytime a seller gets unusually high prices for and item I check their completed listings.

I had one guy do it to me basically he would out bid everyone on his own auctions then offer the second higher bidder the option to buy it near their maximum bid.

That is fishy.

A number of Ebay bidders will refuse to accept second chance offers because of shill bidding.

I never knew of this practice.
