Why would someone bid $1000 on this story?

    There's either a shill or two or some folks who are dumber than sticks.

    It looks like an unsuccessfull fraud attempt by a few people. Two out of the three bidders have 0 or negative feedbacks, probably friends of the seller.The claim 10% OF ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE RED CROSS FOR THE TSUNAMI RELIEF is to be verified, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Shameful, anyway you look at it.

    Well Philip like wrestling, shoes and just bought an I-Pod! and the other bidder can't even afford to pay for a shirt! SCAM!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    It's a pretty obvious scam too. Now this auction probably is shilling in action.
