Well someone seems to have thought it was.

Hmmm....

One of those eBay pranks?

Don't know, I was watching it and saw after it had ended the price.

That's bizarre - a crummy player that nobody seems to like, and normally sold for 100 dollars new, fetches a grand? Something really strange going on.

I'll bet the winner intended to bid $99, or maybe $ 9.90. OOPS.

That has to be it! Gotta hate it when you mistype and hit enter too fast!

Cheers, Tim

Hmmm. My new theory is that Bidder 3 put in a very high bid to insure that he/she would win the auction, and Bidder 2 got stubborn and bid even higher...

Or something else. Anyway, kinda crazy!

Cheers, Tim

So two people are willing to pay close to a grand for this thing?

My theory is that two people couldn't imagine anyone ELSE would bid that much!

But I'm just guessing!

for 500 bucks(or thereabouts), you can get a 40 GB ipod, 20 times the storage!

Try, 80 gigs for $350 or 30 gigs for $250.00.

Holy moses. That's madness. Someone out there has just wasted a buttload of money.
