If you notice the sign up date for those "dummy" accounts, they were created on the same day as the bid.  There are 3 of them.

I sent him a question. Hopefully he gets pissed off about it.

On the bid history only 2 members where ranked and those where the only members to not register the same day as the auction.

Why would you pay that much for the cardbord box an XBox came in?

This XBox box is around 6 months old but barely used (hence the sale). It comes without the instructions which have been sadly mis-placed although this clearly does not affect the sale!  below i have listed the info from the side of the box:

 


LOL

i didnt catch that the first time... i thought it was just the bid scam.... what an asshole...

Did you see the retraction on that last item?

Cancelled: £5,000,000.00
Explanation:Apperently he bidded as a joke

Yeah, like the item for sale wasn't a joke.  And he felt compelled to bid on it himself 6 times.
