yeah, definitely some shilling going on, too, but did the ultimate
"winner" have enough feedbacks to indicate he/she was real?

The winner did -- 35.  The smartest one (relatively speaking, of course)
put in only one bid at $140 had 397, two high losers had 488 and 379,
but the worst step bidder was a newbie with zero, and the next to
highest had just one.  There is a REAL Diamond Disc machine going at
9.99 because there is only one bidder and the reserve can't be met.  It
is in Louisiana, has a certificate of fumigation from Terminix, and is
for local pick-up only.  I have the exact same machine -- minus the
certificate.
