I've noticed on threads where people are selling websites, and there's not many bidders, they say "Recieved bid of $xx in a PM". Most of the time, I think people are just saying that to get the bids going. What do you think?
sure people do it all the time on ebay why not here, they might even go to the extent of making a new username just to make it more legit
Many people don't like bidding on threads. If your thinking it's fake, just ask the thread owner for screenshot or name of bidder... You'll know it's a fake bid if he refuses proof of bid.
