No, it's 3 bidders bidding, one newbie. And they are ALWAYS clueless. And it's a sort of nuclear bidding war (which are always fun to watch), but not quite.
Some people read VINTAGE & RARE and just jump on the runaway train without doing any research. As if the seller was asking $99 to start with, well, of course he knew the correct value of what he had. So of course you have to bid higher. And higher. Still not doing any research. :roll:
I personally never got the whole Denyse thing anyway.
Have I ever overpaid for fabric on eBay? Got caught up in the moment? Yep. Been caught in a nuclear bidding war once or twice - and all you can do is laugh when it ends.
But I don't think that's what's going with this auction. The bidders really think there is some value in the fabric, either due to the design or it's rarity. <shrug>
