Thread Starter |  Digi(?) bids on their own ebay items? i couldn't find another thread about this. and i'm sure i can't be the only one who's noticed this. i'm looking to purchase a digi 002. i keep running across (and getting outbid by) ebay user names with the same format. follow me on this one... j***l c***m etc it's always a letter, three asterisks, and then another letter. this user with several user names always drives the price way up on everything digi! is this someone hired by digi trying to put a false value on their items? if a used 002 is almost as much as a new 003 maybe all those interested would just buy a new one. is this practice legal? maybe it's not digi at all, but a third party mod company getting extra parts or something? anyone else experience this peculiar ebay phenomenon? anybody? |

| I'm just guessing, but it seems more likely that it would be a company that sells used gear. I mean, if Digi were bidding on it and they won they'd have to pay for it. |

| I think that's just the new ebay protection system for protecting ebay usernames. |
