Shills I hope that this is not anyone's car, but I am utterly pissed at the shill bidding. I had asked for the guy to send me more pix and info for a PPI. No response. I assume that the hell hole is nasty. But to see the bidding on this makes me want to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) I hope he gets stuck with it and comes back with one of those assanine re-lists "buyer backed out...."

suppose you want to sell something but it doesn't look like you're going to get the price you wanted. you get a friend to bid up the price to 1) increase its perception of value and 2) raise the price. the shill dates back to the medicine show days, where a successful promoter would seed the audience with a few people to enthusiastically buy the product. no one wants to be the first to fall for the pitch, but once the ice is broken, subsequent sales come more easily. i have no idea the derivation of the term. |
