I missed out on this auction by a mere 30minutes!

auction address

Can this be possible? How the hell could it end so low? Theres gotta be over 5000 worth of hardware there.

/me kicks himself!

that would be well over $5k... something doesn't quite seem right about that....

Smells stolen, but your right the monitors alone are worth more then that.

Hmmm - first ever auction by the seller. My guess is this is a hijacked account and the goods don't exist at all (at least in the hands of the seller or hijacker). No way this is a legit auction.

especially given what it says in the winners feedback

Yeah, be glad you missed the auction. Maybe you would have gotten the goods, but better safe than sorry.

Rule #1 on ebay...

When buying large ticket items make sure they have a long history and a good rating unless you verify them other ways...

and make sure you use a credit card

I hear that fraud is extremely rampant on ebay, because it is so easy to fool people into thinking you've been in the business a while and they aren't smart enough to check things out!

listed in
Collectables > Holiday, Seasonal > Christmas: Modern (1946-90) > Stockings
lol

I guess it's a hijacked account cuz the guy who won the item got a "Great eBayer!! Helped identify a fraudulent transaction!!" feedback.

Anyway I would only pay with Credit Card through paypal. THis way, you can dispute the charge if the seller does not ship the item.
