    Chances of the seller actually getting paid I would think would be close to zero. The two highest bidders have 100% bid history with this seller, no positive feedback, and have only each placed one bid on this item, so look like auction wreckers.

    Having said that though the highest genuine bidder still bid $589 for it.

    At least they're making it clear it is just the box. Not like the UK auction a while ago where the seller had the spec form, then a huge gap to scroll down & in very small letters, you are bidding for the box.
    He had a couple of items all finishing at the same time & they went for the price the actual items would.
