There could be a shill bidder in the mix and high bidder right now, the only archery auction's that he bid on where the sellers two. Just seems alittle odd

JavelinaHink, I took a look at they auction but I couldn't tell if a shill was involved. If you suspect something report the listing to ****. At the very bottom of the page they have a link to do that. I have done that many times for lots of things including when someone used my pics and my discription to sell something similiar to an item I had already sold! They yanked it right off of there. Good catch on the shill though.

John......Fraud is something they act on real fast but someone upping the bid price so they make more money in final fees they seem to overlook, I've informed them before and they don't really care.At least that's my take on them.The only thing is to let them have it so they have to relist it later.

 I have two bows made the same way from the same city, Al's Archery Shop, Grand Rapids, Mi.Not sure if a connection there but Al made alot of bows and have half dz.of them in the collection. If this guy made bows I would of thought Floyd would of had one in his collection. Its hard to say for sure I'm looking thru michgan mags to find the name F.A.Reed and so far have not found him being involved in shoots, ad's etc.
