Check out this ended listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170394726396&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

$6100.00...maybe some fanboys went on a drinking binge pulled up eBay and tried to find the auction's ceiling price. Who knows? I feel sorry for the seller. Looks like a case of new eBay bidders with total disregard for the system

Legit bidding seems to have stopped between $600.00 - $741.00, 4 hours prior to the auction's end. I was watching this to keep track of the FMV...Bad bidding hurts.

The picture shows this being the 35 cent variant. CPG has this valued at $3200.00 so maybe it's legit. I am, however, unfamiliar with the desire for this particular variant. I can assume it's pretty hard to find in such a high grade.

I do agree that phony bidding sucks.

According to the CGC census, there is only 1 9.4 of the 35 cent variant, so it doesn't really surprise me if it really is that highest graded copy.

I think this issue sold for about $5000 a year or so ago (if there isn't any copy higher than 9.4 on the CGC census). Them $.35 variants are hard to find, let alone on high grade.

Honestly, ...maybe I'm out of touch with .35 cent variant demand but $6100.00 seems just too incredible.

I hope the winning bidder pays for it.

It's a high grade, rare price variant with a key first appearance in a low selling book. I think the price is crazy, but it does have a precedent.

Here this is what I got e-mailed from ebay on my bidding:

Our records show that you recently contacted or received messages from hobbiesneletronics through eBay's messaging system. This account was recently found to have been accessed by an unauthorized third party, who may have used the account in an attempt to defraud other members.

We've taken action to restore this account to the original owner, but wanted to let you know to be suspicious of any communication you may have received from them. Nothing is wrong with your account at this time ? this message is just being sent as a precaution. If you have received any messages from that appears suspicious, please feel free to forward them to us at spoof@ebay.com for review.

-- Safety Tips --
-- Don't respond to the sender, through either eBay or your email provider, if the message is an offer to buy or sell an item. This type of offer may be fraudulent, and the transaction won't be covered by eBay protection programs.

- - If you received what appears to be a Second Chance Offer for an item you recently bid on, and it appears in My Messages with the subject of "Message from eBay Member," it isn't a legitimate Second Chance Offer.

Real Second Chance Offers appear in My Messages with a blue background and subject that says, "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...". Always check for both the blue background in My Messages and the subject line of "eBay Second Chance Offer for Item?" when responding to a Second Chance Offer.

-- Never pay for your eBay items using instant cash wire transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram. It is against eBay's Safe Payments Policy for a seller to request payment with these methods, as these types of payments are unsafe if you're paying someone you don't know.

-- If You've Already Sent Payment or Shipped an Item --
- - If you already sent payment for an off-eBay transaction, or if you're a seller who already shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, we suggest you take the following steps:

-- Contact the payment service you used to make the purchase. If you paid by credit card, most card issuers provide consumer protections in instances of online fraud.

- - If you sold and shipped an item to a fraudulent buyer, contact the carrier you used to ship the item. You might be able to receive additional assistance from the shipping service. If it was sent through the United States Postal Service, you may want to file mail fraud charges. Please go to:
http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/

- - Report the fraudulent buyer or seller both to law enforcement officials in your area, and in the area where the buyer or seller lives. To find law enforcement agencies by area, please visit:
http://www.usacops.com

When you contact a law enforcement officer, please explain the following:

- eBay will be happy to help with the officer's investigation.
- For more information on how the officer can contact eBay, go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/law_enforcement.html

-- You may also want to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The IC3 is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. The IC3 will review complaints and refer information to the appropriate local, state, or federal agency. To file a complaint with the IC3, please go to:
http://www.ic3.gov/

We also need you to take a few minutes to provide more information related to the transaction. The information you provide will allow us to work more effectively with law enforcement should an investigation occur. Please go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/isgw-fraud-non-ebay.html

Click the "Item Bought Outside of eBay" or "Item Sold Outside of eBay" link.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

eBay Customer Support 

Maybe I got lucky that I didn't win

Thanks for the update,

Dan
