If you go back far enough in this guy's feedback, you'll see that
someone accused him of bidding on his own auctions under the name
"gottahaveit1998" or something like that. Both accounts were then
suspended; I think the gottahaveit account is still gone. He came back
some time this fall - I had to chuckle when I saw his first auction and
it said "well, I'm back after an extended summer vacation". Yup, sure.

I do *not* know if he was bidding on his own auctions for sure. But he
and the gottahaveit guy sure traded a lot of feedback, and they both
lived in Ky, and they both had the first name martin...

don't know if it's the same guy but I've bid against a
gottahaveit....,

Given my pattern of setting my own max price, I lost to him each
time. It's entertaining to consider that he had to pay eBay their
commission when he "beat" me. He does save on shipping, I suppose.

If a radio looks good, I make my best estimate and bid my max. I'm
a sniper and shill's nightmare. I also pay as fast as I can and
leave accurate feedback, so I'm a fair seller's dream. No games.
