i'm pretty sure its a hightower. but then again the h on their cues is curved but i cant think of anyone else with an h logo.
 
Shill

Known shill seller.Or so I was told!
I stay away. Now and then I bit just to see if things have changed.

If i remember right it was az 1-2 months ago with people asking who or when it was made no one new. I think he had another with what looked like a k on it also. thanks for the shill notes that will save the piggy bank.
 
Hey guys, please enlighten this ignorant one (me). What the heck is a shill bid? Just for my information. Thanks.

A SHILL BID IS ONE THAT IS PLACED BY THE SELLER USING A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT ID, OR A FRIEND OF THE SELLER BIDDING ON IT FOR HIM, TO RUN THE PRICE UP. IT HAPPENS ALOT ON THE BAY.

A shill bidder is a seller has another account or a friend place false bids on an item in order to raise up the selling price on legitamate bidders. For example I am selling a cue with a minimum bid of 50$. The auction is going badly for me, so I use my "shill" account and place a bid of 75$ on it. This way the next person has to beat a bid of 75$

Hope this helps

Oh now I see the light. Thanks guys, much appreciated. Now how do you know about these other accounts and if a shill bid has been placed?

They made it alot harder to go back in the persons history and search there old sales when they went to private bidding .
I know I bump heads alot with the same folks !! My e-bay ID is wjpjr27.
But you never see me coming till 2 or 3 sec's left on the item then it's to late to do anything about it !!;) Called a snipe bidder

I've dealt with the seller of this cue "Phinmole" from ebay more then once. I've bought from and sold to him outside of ebay too. Never had any problems. His name is Felix. He can be reached at Phinmole@aol.com. Hope this helps.

even if it was more than 1 bid i don't think this seller does any shill bidding he bought a dymondwood cue and resold it a week later @ a loss of close to $70

i'll never bid on another private auction again, i just won 1 the other day and you'll never know if u got bid up or not, it is completely pointless for bidders to remain anonymous it just makes it look like u have something to hide, any bidder can remain anonymous by making an impersonal name and not telling anyone
