Still 10 hours to go.

I looked at the 29 bids to-date. They look pretty fishy to me, several bidders with similar bid histories, and percentage of bids with same seller in past 30 days (ranging from 8 - 33%), plus a couple of bidders with very high bid retraction histories.

Oh, I am not planning to bid on it, just thought it was interesting how much someone was willing to pay.

Thanks for the warning.

That's nuts. That being said, value is really just what someone will pay for something they want.
...but that's nuts.
