That's a classic. Notice the feedback is all from 0-score users. Make a few auctions, create another ebay account, win the auction with unrealistic maximums or use buy it now, and give positive feedback. What is your recourse for a few hundred dollars when they're in China?

ooops i didnt even look at the feedback lol

Is there anything to give this away as a scam other than the dodgy feedback and the fact that all the usernames seems to have been autogenerated? Doesn't look like a terribly imaginitive scam. Just claim to sell something, than take the money and run.

That's just the nature of an auction, though. Plenty of legit auction start out with super low prices, and then are bid up. I wouldn't expect an HDTV to be so low with only ten hours left, but it's certainly possible. Most of the movement happens in the last minute.

I bought my CD changer (stock for chrysler) for only $70 when they sold on ebay for around 150~200.
