High bidder has a (0)?? It's probably him bidding up his own auction. I've seen it a hundred times before.

Up to almost $205,000.00!

Still 4 days to go, and most of the bidders are people with pretty decent feedack numbers- from 10 up to 300+.

To me, they don't look like fake or shill bids at all. They look completely legitimate.

It looks like Mike Rowe will be set for life!

Tomorrow, I'm going to court to legally change my name to Mr. Koca Kowla! heh heh heh! :evil:

I just looked at the bid history. All the bids from January 29th forward are GONE!!! I've NEVER seen that happen before! Must have had a mass bid retraction!

Man, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole!

Anything over $100 is not reality for this worthless piece of crap.

I dont see why anyone would cherish it.

This is what he added to the auction description.


All bids will now be pre-approved only. Serious bidders can email me @ [email protected] for approval terms. Pre-approvals will stop 12 hours before the end of the auction. There will be no further approvals accepted after this time.

For payment, certified check or bank transfer will now be the only form of payment accepted from winning bidder.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Feb-02-04 at 16:35:23 PST, seller added the following information:

I have now removed all of the bids because of the amount of bogus bids this auction has received. If you were a serious bidder please contact me and I will forward you the stipulations of the auction.

What a joke, on both him and ebay. I just saved a snapshot of the bid history, 150+ bids either retracted or cancelled. LOL.

I tell you... it's moving back in time!

Soon, there won't BE an auction! Then, Microsoft WON'T be sueing him, the domain will unregister, and MikeRowe will slowly cease to exist!

Trust me! This is happening! :cheeky:
