How did you manage to jump the bidding from 499 to 100,000? It bid's in increments ????
GOOD LUCK...

How is this ribnet 'sting' operation working? I'm not really au fait with ebay, in fact just made my first purchase! Are you just trying to force him to withdraw the item?

No just making sure someone doesn't loose a lot of dosh, this one was fairy easy to spot but some have been a lot sharper but still a scam.
Problem is e bay are very slow to do anything about them and there is no protection despite what they claim.

Not fair - the man is a cad! He is charging me more than you Pete - must be something about me he thinks is a little fishy.................
Don't you dare try to outbid me - I really want this engine and I AM going to have it - will even send hime the cash in an envelope in advance to make sure nobody else gets it!!!!

I am just wondering what to do next. Current price is £350k and you will need £427 to out bid me. Should we now start to rectract these bids with grovelling e mails and watch his price drop right back down ?

"Dear Giri, why have you offered to sell this engine before the end of the auction to someone else? I am most disappointed as I really wanted this engine for my tunnel boat. You need this sort of engine power to get away from the things that live in Loch Ness, Scotland.
However if you are not going to play fair then would you please cancel my last bid as I don't think I can afford it and support my wife and five children.
The cost of Skiing holidays in Aspen (USA) are so expensive now and the wife just can't stop going on shopping trips to Paris.
I therefore beg you to remove my last bid, please. I am willing to consider a lower bid.
Peter"
