eBay

Some time ago, Wilson put his one completed Mk2 WASTE Clock on eBay. The unique feature of this clock is that it never needs adjusting for Winter or Summer Time — it just carries on showing the correct time throughout the year with its extra hour-hand!

The Hour changes back tomorrow morning, however, and his clock has not attracted any bids; no one is even 'watching' it. 

So he has prevailed on me, much against my better judgement, to place a bid on it, to stimulate interest. 

The reserve price is £250, so W says I should make a bid of £300, to make the clock look desirable.

This strikes me as sharp practice, as 'manipulating the market', but he assures me that 'everybody does it' and 'it never fails!'
