is going on here?

Bargain, surely?

lol it ended now at $14,999

[muse hunter]

no that can't be right, theres definately something fishy going on there. Notice how both the seller and one of the bidders who are pushing the item to stupid prices have relatively low feedback, both seller and an/or acquaintance(s) have deliberately pushed the final price up. The seller might just be trying to get people to notice his item so he can put the item back on and expect good money for it. That situation is probably unlikely, this is just the more seedy side of ebay showing, i don't know how often this happens but ebay can be easily used as a legit cover for money laundering, this quite obviously looks like the case

well, if it wasn't deliberate I feel sorry for the fees the seller is gonna have to pay on that :P

Mafia money laundering

[S3M]

Notice how neither the seller or the buyer are no longer registered eBay user something very strange is going on with that auction.

But as someone told me eBay is the number one place to move stolen goods and as muse hunter pointed out money laundering.

As for ICO your be a fool to pay money for it now as Sony of Europe are re-releasing it in February of next year.

reminds me of the gits who were selling live8 tickets and peeps were creating fake accounts on ebay then bidding the tickets up to mega buck status so they would charge them

This isn't a game, but this is the funniest thing I've ever seen on eBay:

I'm leaning towards it being a re-seal rather than a factory seal. Hmm, not so hot on my SNES packaging though.

[Ginger Tosser]

Does look resealed, most of my us games had a strip which peeled around the cart (think i've described as best as i can!).

[Siege]

Thats a shoddy bit of resealing.

[Lyris]

Surely if it was factory sealed then the edges of the box wouldn't be scuffed?
