Canadian Railroads > Another high bid slide on that auction siteDate: 12/31/18 22:19 Another high bid slide on that auction site Author: Valleyman For those that remember the high bid of $496.00 for a slide a few weeks back, this one leaves that one in the dusk. This would be a nice down payment on a new car. By the way there’s another one going for $706.50. Can’t figure out why on this one.

In this case there were only a couple of bidders but one who bid many, many times driving the price up. Because all you see are the first and last letters/numbers of a name it's hard to know who is playing out there. I stopped doing anything on eBay years ago.

Also found another listing for $2750. Wonder if this is just a technique to attract attention for other sales.?

The slide in this case was of a very nice shot of CP Rail's Canadian in the Rockies.
