My initial thought on seeing that the winning bidder had a (0) feedback is
that the bidder used a fake id, and does not intend to pay for the item.
i.e. a joke bid. Notice how many "views" the item has. Obviously a lot of
people have been telling their friends about it, and it only takes two who
have a fake EBAY identity to price it way up as a joke. If anyone REALLY
bid that much money...well, a fool and his kopins are soom parted. Rick
