I have been shopping for FWs lately. I purchased a black one that needs some serious repairs and a white one with lots of extras. I think that I paid a fair price for both. As far as I could see, I didn't notice any blatant shilling going on. That's not to say it never happens. However, FWs are so popular that it's no surprise that there are lots of bids on them. There are also a ton of FWs on the market, so I'm sure that you will find one for a reasonable price. You might take a look at the GW auctions. There's less guarantees over there, but the prices are generally lower than EB.
