It's a scam. This same auction has been posted repeatedly. At one time, the scammer had about 15 amazing packages listed under different hijacked accounts.

oh my god, hahahaha i didnt know it was a scam, and was about to bid on it! phew, luckily i saw this thread.

if he is a scammer, maybe some of us should bid, get the price high and then just don't pay :)

must be easy enough to set up some ebay accounts :)

It won't do any good. The scammer hijacks existing accounts and uses them for this, if you get the account canceled, he'll move on to another one.

can't the bay just ban his ip address from thier system , then he would have to have a diff comp wouldn't he :confused: I would think the bay would be able to dump scammers like this

It's really not worth the trouble for a website with that much traffic to do that. Chances are the scammer isn't using his home computer for this, and even if he was, it's most likely a DHCP address anyway, so eventually you'll end up blocking the wrong person.

no, he means create an account, bid like $5000, and block anyone else from bidding, that way no one who doesnt know any better gets scammed. its kinda like robin hood :D

I know what he means. If he has control over the account, he can cancel the bid, block the bidder, and keep the auction going. I had to do it when I was selling a $2000.00 laptop. I had people jumping on and bidding ridiculous amounts simply to kill my auction so theirs were better deals.
