I have been watching a Fat Bastard loon on Ebay the last week. It ended today at $168. Amazed at that, I just picked one up at the Wausau show. I shoulda bought them all I guess and flipped em.

Yeah, I don't get that one. They're not that hard to find and at half the price of a dadson maribou.

You gotta watch regularly to see it but seasoned sellers work together to drive the prices up and the items are often listed again about a month later. Most don't even bother to take new pictures of the item.

I like how the first one even said "seller re-listed this item" Wow what a scam, eBay should caught this trick by now.I bet they bid each others baits up and once someone real doesn't actually bite they cancel their bids and sale. Ebay don't care because they get paid for the listing anyway....Dirty.

MNmusky be also aware of the payment scam too.. you send the bait, and they pull back money after you ship, free bait for them to now list.

Remember that if you ship priority mail you can have the package intercepted in route by the post office...

I had a guy pull the above crap on me once and the post office grabbed it back the day it was supposed to be delivered.

that would suck. Will see what happens. Never really had any problems on ebay, buying or selling.
