One of the tricks used by volume sellers is to pull a non performing
auction before close, and then relist it later. You know about this from
another seller.

With all this privacy in his auctions, it's not inconceivable that
Martyn is closing out an auction without a sale because prices don't hit
expected highs, and then bring the same item back after a time, and
conversation in the community brings up interest. With privacy, he can
even let the auction run to term, but top biddder can be a dummy
account, or an ally, so that no sale results.

Make no mistake, the talk on this newsgroup is closely monitored for
any hints as to trends of interest in product lines.

Start a thread, about looking for Galaxy SW receivers for instance,
and watch them pop up on e-Bay.

Or post a listing here for a radio for auction, and watch the same
radio popup by other vendors...often with the same listing copy and
photographs.
