    I just contacted the current high bidder (jayne.morris3, a newbie) and got a reply from a different ebay member (with 119 feedback) who said "I Know what it is (wink)".

    I think this might mean that the current "high bidder" is an experienced ebayer who has deliberately bid something rediculous on the item (through a different account) with the intention not to pay, to protect any gullible bidders. Not sure though...[font=Arial, Verdana]

    Cool, i hope so as it saves me bidding on it :T

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Or Jayne Morris could be the seller too with yet another ID, putting the price up. It's getting way too complicated!

    Looks like a 'drunken wager' auction to me. As in, guy in the pub bets his mate that he can sell an empty box on Ebay for £XXX - mate accepts bet, seller bids up and buys his own item to win wager of £XXX off his mate. :rotfl:

    I'm basing this on the seller's previous history!
    I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.
