This smells real bad!
1. Look at where the auction is from: Romania.
2. Look at the ID's of the bidders: 0 & 1 feedbacks.
3. The high bidder has bought a LOT of stuff ($20k+) over the past month
with a 1 feedback. Where are all the feedbacks on all that stuff he/she
bought? What's wrong with that?
I'm convinced that there are very few reasons to buy from Ebay for new
goods. It's too risky for me.
I also notice that the newest toys generate the most shenanigans, like the
net digital SLRs and digital cameras.

Subject: [OM] complete ebay stupidity
I was looking for a digital camera for my dad's birthday.
Stumbled upon this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1366865431
Look at the bids!!! He originally had a BIN of $525 (according to his add).
B&H sells them for $1950 new!!!!
Crazy,
-Bill
