In het kort: Harrelson trumpets bied zijn trompetten te koop aan via eBay. Maar laat zijn zuster (die voor hem werkt) meebieden. Als zij wint krijgt ze de toeter voor de helft van de prijs...
....onderstaand het antwoord van Jason Harrelson zelf:
For the record, this has to be 10th time I've been accused of fixing ebay auctions over the past 7 or 8 years. I will make one post only as I am traveling over the holidays and cannot get on the internet more than once or twice in the next week.
Did my sister win several ebay auctions? Yes
Did she shill bid? No
She has two young boys, the first of which is learning trumpet at age 2. Much too young to be buying trumpets for these boys, but my sister is excited about my business and works by my side in customer service. The part none of you will like is that she gets a 50% discount on her purchases.
Is this unfair? I don't see how considering anyone can bid and she has a limited budget.
AND I have sold numerous Bravura trumpets for under $1500 in the past several months...some of them as low as $1300.
Would this have happened with shilling???
I DO IN FACT LOSE MONEY on auctions ending below $1800.
Thanks and happy holidays.
