    Default Shill bidding. Be careful!

    I love it when items like these start low. It lets the market decide what they are worth but I honestly think there is some serious shill bidding going on here!

    $45 shipping???

    I knew Australia Post had to raise their rates to afford paying their (now retiring) CEO but that is ridiculous!

    137 positive reviews, quite a few bought by the same account, but not enough to be obvious that it is a second shill account.

    If its over $450 with 8 days to go, I hate to see the last minute!

    lotusbella always has high shipping prices, it's just something that has to be factored in when buying from them.

    Also never get into an expensive bidding war with a low arse feedback "buyer"
    LOL

    I'm pretty sure that Brawn has been up before from the same seller, unless they had two, or the shill bidder won the last time. That's always funny
