Sockpuppets and astroturfing are standard practice in forums and auctions. I am surprised people are surprised.

Little different. The socky was used to intentionally scam active bidders, not to troll or "astroturf".

You are kidding yourself if you think auctions that contain fake bids are not common. Especially on these forums and bitcoin in general.

Common, yes. To go without punishment, no.
To be honest, if it doesn't, I'm never bidding on another thing in this forum.

Werner, sorry for blaming you Cheesy

... BUT

...there are 2 items, for one is already bidden BTC52. So you only bid BTC53 on the other item. Your first bet is just decoration, because you can't kick Nightowlace out without bidding higher for the first item as well.

Hope it helps you not to loose the auction, if you wan't win both.

Now it makes sense... Man, there's a lot of these. Sorry, Garr. Game over.

Edit: I am not condoning it, this sort of behavior is execrable. I am just saying it happens a lot.

What qualifies to post in the Scam Accusation thread? Do you actually have to be scammed or just post the obvious?

I have the absolute first order from BFL for any ASIC products. It is for one Jalapeno. I'll send it off to the winner as soon as I receive it.

BFL is promising 4.5gh/s at only 4.5 watts!

I just need to get some money together for college so I thought I'd give this a try.

Bidding starts at BTC1! Minimum increment of BTC0.1 please. Auction ends May 1st or when BFL ships. I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any point before payment is sent to me.

Additionally, BFL is offering the chance to upgrade this order to an SC Single, which would make this the first SC Single to be shipped. If you're interested in bidding on this, then make it clear in your bid that you are bidding for the SC Single by bidding with the format: "SC Single: BTC200". Minimum increment for bidding on SC Single is BTC1. If you're bidding for the Jalapeno, please signify that by following the format: "Jalapeno: BTC10".

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer.

Someone should probably inform the suckers that got bid up by the sock puppet that they got robbed.

It is appalling that someone would accuse me of doing something as low as bidding up my own auctions. You make me sick.

--Garr

Then what exactly happened here? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1689855

That's a gotcha indeed.

However it doesn't make Inaba's behavior any more respectable either.

Hey all, regarding the Werner account:

I am not allowed to argue against what I have stated in my apology to BFL and Josh, else they will cancel my orders, which would be devastating.

I had to swallow my pride and set my ego aside so I could act in the best interest of others, as I stated previously. What I can say: It is appalling that someone would accuse me of doing something as low as bidding up my own auctions. You make me sick.

As I said, I'm not going to argue against the all-powerful BFL only because I value those orders more than a few peoples' opinions of me.

--Garr

After all the dicksucking and scampuppeting, I doubt anything can make you sick.

So funny.

No no. you only act in the best of YOUR own interest.

Remember how you quickly jumped on calling me a sock puppet?

Douchebag.
