Well, if he says it's not, then it is. ha.

What's really troubling is what if martyn and gottahaveit were not
"pushing it a little too far."

What if, he's smarter than that. Say he has two or three shills,
they bid up an SX-100 or whatever to irrational heights, do it
two or three times. It's a private auction so we don't know what's
going on.

Then he actually puts one out and without too much shill action gets
even half that price. He walks away with real money.

If buyers got the idea that SX-100s had somehow become worth at least 500
bucks, then so would sellers. There's hundreds of nice SX-100s out there,
and if only a fraction of those SX-100s end up for auction on ebay, then
they'll be selling cheap, assuming the bids are coming from real bidders and
not shills.
