[TR] eBay Histeria

[Bob Danielson]

Whoa..........my eBay ID is YellowTR6 and I'm in CT.......don't go thinking
that's me.........I did a bunch of TR6 auctions in the fall and there was
only 1 second chance offer. And that's because the seller couldn't get the
tonneau to fit so I took it back. Geez.....I wish I had the battery to sell
instead of him!

I  believe I just witnessed an original Lucas battery suitable for a TR6 go

for over $1,100 in an auction on eBay.  I suppose it is dry charged  so it
may last a few years once charged, but WHY? If anyone can  answer that
question I have an original tar top Lucas, never filled,  suitable for the
small Triumphs ready for  auction.








This auction, and the buyer, have been discussed at length on the 6-pack
forum.
 
This particular buyer has a history of paying enormous, foolish prices for
supposedly NOS items - from sellers in or not far from CT - many from
sellers with ebay ids following a format of (color)TR6.
 
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but in this case its hard not to
suspect a shill bidding scheme where a buyer runs up the price in collusion
with a seller who then sends a "2nd chance" offer to the runner up bidders.
