    I don't believe it was a real bid. I don't know much about ebay but that bidder had only bid once. The auction was for five days and he bid on the fifth day. There was only one bid.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Interesting, considering the buyer has zero other activities on that account. Also interesting is that there is a lot of 18 boxes selling for 120$. Induced price inflation anyone?

    Unfortunately the days of making a buck over the internet through hoarding and scarcity is long gone.

    Sometimes nefarious characters use eBay to move money back and forth and to justify ill gotten gains. Far more rampant than most people know. This may be the case on this item.

    Wow, i would have never thought of moving money thru ebay,but yeah it would clean up ill gotten gain in a jif. it amazes me some of the crooks,if they spent the time,energy ,and thought into legal efforts some of these guys would make a whole lot more than they do now.
