lol
probably a "vote" or "protest" auction. usually linked from one of the discussion boards. check out the hit counter :P
Posted by: uh...ok
Well the hit counter can be accoutned for by the fact that this URL has been passed around many internet websites and chatrooms...
Posted by: redwench
yup. but how did they find it?

my friend showed me that a few days ago, i think the bidding was only in the thousands then, i couldn't quite figure it out.

Fark had a link to it a couple days ago.
They are well known for their cascade effect.

I hope the guy had to pay, lol.

There is a posibility that the NewFolder was a code for something else. I mean, who would pay $80,000,100.00 for a desktop folder?

it was a joke listing. "vote" and protest auctions get put up from time to time.
you have to specifically register to bid on legitimate high price items, along with proof of ability to pay. those bidders didnt do that, im sure :P

*Lo, the ebay goddess has spoken*

Posted by: uh...ok
What about the people who bid $0-$3000?
Oh wait you mean people who voted the really high numbers had to have had some kind of authentication to do it, and the fact that they did it (supposedly without authentication) means that it's a bogus auction.

come on, does it even look like a serious auction?

probably a joke account, or a hacked account... but you'd think e-bay monitoring would spot and remove that?
Posted by: redwench
ebay monitoring?
*shrieks with laughter*
Posted by: chaosisreality
hey, even if it ain't a reality they claim it...

if the item sells then ebay gets a fee if the buyer pays you or not so putting up items like this could backfire if you have to pay a fee on a high amount.
heres another one, hard feel sorry for anyone who falls for this stuff lol.

Hey, stop making fun of what i buy on ebay!!  heh
What was it, a few months ago there was a paint roller with eyes on it, sold for $33 or so...
Posted by: redwench
actually, the final value fees are credited back to the seller if the transaction doesnt go through. he would only pay the listing fees, which would be based on the starting price.
falls for what? its another joke listing. the scam listings are much better, i assure you.

actually you get billed the fee automaticly and you can "request" the fee be refunded and it takes a couple of weeks.
I think you give people too much credit to assume they know its a joke, there are people that are really that stupid.
