Porceline Imperial Sign , I smell shill bidding.

["A. Foster" <monkeypuzzle1@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Gang;

 I have taken a look at the bid history on this sign and it looks like they had one bidder bidding no less then twenty times, mostly against himself. In fact he bid fifteen times within five minutes on April, 3rd! He either wanted the sign really badly or is a shill bidder. I would think the latter since he hasn't bid since. It would be interesting to look at the dollar amounts at the end of the auction to see what was really going on.

Best Regards

The sign I purchased a year ago on eBay was in the box... brand new.

 

It was shipped from Chrysler Corporation to a dealer in Chicago.

 

So it appears that it is an authentic Chrysler Corporation sign...

 

... however is quite worn and tattered...

 

I am glad I got a new one in the box.   It hangs prominently in the Garage above my car...

Want to see some more insanity on eBay???

 

I purchased this same sign for less than $100 last year.

 

Somebody must have gone in the business, or has a pot full of them...
