Location: CA | $500 for a totally unremarkable Balladeer? 11 Bets by 'Bidders' 1 through 5? "Reserve Met?" What's going on here, is this guy betting against himself to (he thinks) inflate the price?

Location: Minden, Nebraska | Hidden bidder ID's make it difficult for others to detect shill bidding, so another good reason to not play ebay police even when it seems fishy. That's a good reason for US to not bid.
If a legit buyer wants that guitar for that price, oh well. You and I may roll our eyes. If it's a shill bid, the guitar will be back up for sale. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | Simply looks like Bidder 5 wanted it badly enough to bid up high enough to meet reserve. Not our call if it is worth it. Unlikely that Bidder 5 will get any competition at that price, but who knows? Hope they enjoy it and that we don't see it back on the Bay quickly.
