Fishy.

I personally think its shill bidding to drive up the price. Knowing that nobody would bid on a blade without knowing what it is first,... the bidders must have first at least visited this forum and bladeforums. After that, their would be some education that these same blades are selling (and available) on bf in the 230 range... kydex sheath about $50

plus, these bidders are the same bidders feuding over the blade, and bidding quite early... not snipeing at the last minute. I figure somebody has many of these and wants to 'pad, load, or drive' the market price up a bit.

It will close, $$ will not change hands, they will be an agreement to mutually not complete the transaction after close, and later, some people will be inclined to ask for more $$ in their sales, while others will be more inclined to pay more, after seeing this. Go figure.

I saw this early with the Dmutt blade on ebay, I do not recall the seller name. Someone may be trying to play some dogs for fools. I am not inditing OhioMitch (seller), however I find it fishy that in this weeks auctions, the bidders are anonymous, and ohiomitch has not had another auction where he set preferences for anonymous bidders, and that is with a history going back to 9/3/03.

Plus, bidder history looks fishy as well (number of bids vs auctions, style, etc.).

Though I could be wrong?
