Come on, 710.00 for FIVE 1/18 figures.
The final bid is from someone with ZERO feedback - bad sign and yes, VERY fishy indeed.

The crazy thing is that if you look at the bid history they weren't all bogus bidders. There was an established eBayer (the guy with 703 FB) that apparently stopped somewhere just shy of $700. Of course I suppose he could have been in collusion with the seller. However if you look at the seller's feedback it isn't bad. Going by the ending bids for items he's recently sold there's no obvious evidence of schill bidding. If the whole thing was legit then a new record has probably been set for eBay insanity.

Hmmm, I thought they were worth about $20.
Perhaps I will get a "second chance" at them for my high bid ;)
Heck, I just wanted 'em for the heads anyway :?

Money laundering, drug buy, other outlawed good purchase (ivory, etc), who knows what else.
