I've been looking forward to see how much one of these will go for now.

Although I have to say, my Protector is one of the few things I'm unlikely
to sell.

It is a pity you don't have a higher rating, as that always helps bidding.

I've put in a bid to get you going, however my maximum amount certainly
isn't going to win it. Good luck!

Cheers
Marc

No, shill bidding is when you have a friend (or yourself under a
different name) bid on your item just to drive up the price (but with
no intention of actually buying it, you don't want to actually win).

Marc is willing to actually buy the game (from the sound of it) if he
wins, he just figures he's going to get outbid before it's over...
