Am i missing something!?  

The last 2 bidders - involved in the bid increases from £290 to £1500, £2100 then £2150 - have zero feedback. One or both may well be the tooth fairy. JMTPW.

Seller has no feedback either.  Last 2 bidders are probably friends of the seller who has asked them to 'bump up' the price.  

 

This practice is illegal and against the trading rules of eBay so I'd imagine they will have their account closed and banned from future registrations.

I put a Saab wind deflector on Ebay with a "buy now" price of £140 - it went for £175 ????

Mind boggle!

You think I paid too much ?

several years ago a friend of mine bought 3 of the original playstations, (rrp £199) then sold the 2 others for £300 each near the first Christmas when there was a shortage (this was pre e-bay)

Auction fever is well known; I used to go to bankruptcy auctions and see crates of Coke Cola selling for 40% above the supermarket price, knackered old portable TVs selling for more than  a new one etc..

 

Once the idiots had blown their wads the regulars used to settle down and pay realistic money, I got a 2 seater + 3 seater settee set, still in the delivery wrappings - for £100, and a lightly used 2 seater plus chair, plus rocker chair set for £20.

 

Still, interesting bid histories on those last 3 bidders.

All a bit suspect
