That's really sad to see. Hopefully it gets taken down before it ends. Someone would be losing a ton of money.

I would never buy a 55 without a slab anyway. But some bidders on ebay are in another tax bracket that most and this is play money.

No one's getting hurt. It's all shill bidding.

15 bids on this one, 13 of them from the same bidder, who bids 41% of the time on items from this seller.

Suspicions have always been that this is actually a form of money laundering, assuming the high bidder actually pays for his item.

Wow, I want one of those for my counterfeit collection, but think maybe ten bucks would be about right and $700 a bit high, eh?

@nss-52, is that the fake one that was listed? I'm no good at spotting fakes.

Well Sam, at least we know you're not involved in any illicit activity.

If you do decide to dabble, however, please don't expect your accomplices to provide with their services free of charge.
