Do you think they sold it?
Or did some one bid it up & they got stuck with fees?
I think he got stuck, what about you!

I'm sure they got stuck. I just finished browsing the other auctions through whattheheck.com. Some are pretty hilarious. I'd post my favorites, but I'd be afraid you guys would think that I was "sick"

I know what you mean about favorites I was going to post the one a, er, oh well nevermind.

An interesting thing about some of these auctions is that if you click on the feedback, it's all legit and so are all the links. You can even sign in to Ebay using the sign in link on each auction page.

What I can't figure out is that some of these auctions ended over 2 years ago, and they are obviously coming from Ebay so why are they still viewable. I mean their auction numbers have all timed out. Unless the people from whattheheck.com hacked the Ebay site and got into their archives. Or maybe this site is run by someone from Ebay.

At least they realized a tremdious profit margin. Almost 1% after ebay fees.

Hmm. Both buyer and seller have 0 feedback.

The old Ebay auctions are still viewable because someone copied them and webhosted them. It's a very easy thing to do. The feedback link and other user links will still work as long as the eBay users are still registered.
