This is the one that has been in Hot boat mag forever. dude always wanted some rediculous price, but now has it listed with no reserve. seems like a nice boat.

i agree fred you have one nice fountain there!!! if i only had the extra coinage.

that boat was in hotboat for a couple years in the classified for 140 or something. dude is nuts. i just cant believe he put it on ebay with no reserve. when i first saw it there were 4 bids and it was at 30k. i wonder what he started it at?

There are more ways to manipulate an Ebay auction than you and I could dream up in a life time.

The guy can have his wife or a buddy register and bid the boat up to an acceptable number. If no one tops the fake bid, he's lost nothing.

Let's say this guy thinks his boat is worth $125,000. In the last hour he has his buddy bid it up to 124,000. If someone brings it to $125,000 great, he's sold his boat. If not, look for it back in Hot Boat.:eek: :D

How do you think Todd Cimino gets his bids on ebay,, same shill tactic.

But if he has a no reserve auction that reaches completion, whether or not it is a legitimate bid, he is responsible for the sellers fees ebay charges. I'm not sure how much it would be on a $100,000 boat but I would not want to risk it.

What color is the sky in his world!!!

He also made a mistake by writing "this boat is worth" instead of "I owe over"
