It's for troubleshooting purposes. I imagine the ridiculously high initial bid is to keep morons from actually bidding in the auction.

Isn't Ebay's fee based on what your initial selling price is? Wouldn't this be an astronomically huge listing fee?

i think the fee at setup is across the board. it's the final selling price that ebay gets a percentage of -- that can be a huge chunk.

They're selling the souls of the X-box programmers.... and a plate of curly fires.

But I'm told the fries're really worth it.

It could be a Debug Xbox -> its about 800k over priced though. Debux xbox is like 2-3x the size of a regular one hooks up to a computer and allows you to create/burn games for Xbox.

I think it's a testing auction that this seller set up. I doubt it was ever meant to be seen by you or anyone else.
