alexbq2 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 That's a pretty bad fake! I wonder if shill bidding was going on? It's a private listing so all we see is - Bidders: 10 Bids: 22 Very likely that there was some artificial activity. But I'll guess that someone actually ended up buying this thing .
