Re: OT: What is wrong with this ebay auction?
What's funny is that not only did the winning bidder bid $127, but the second-place bidder bid $126. So, at least two people bid over face value. Weird.
The only thing I can think of is that someone wants to buy something from Amazon, and doesn't have a credit card, bank account, or checking account. So the only way for them to purchase something is to use a gift certificate -- maybe they intend to pay for the gift certificate using a money order. But this doesn't really explain it, since there are so many Amazon certificates on eBay that (s)he surely could've found one for 90-100% of face value.

Yeah, what's funny is it takes 2 idiots to drive the bid up, not just one! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Makes me laugh, which is needed since I've lost one of my main sources of income. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

If every criminal could convert $127 of stolen value into $100 of legitimate value, they would do so every time.
