You can tell with all the 0 and low feedback bidders.

The seller will simply use a second chance offer for the offical one who bid was completely maxed out.

Complete waste of time, it's a common thing with these sort of items.

The max real bid is $900 and that his max bid that would have likely won.

The real value is $500-750 max depending on the condition.

But why would someone do that? Very few people will pay an amount like this for a videogame. He has to pay for Ebay fees also, bet those will be high also with a max bid of 3k.

They will do either of two things: -

1) retrack the fake bids just prior to the auction ending and thus only pay fees for the highest offical bid.

2) Second chance offers price will be what fees he will pay and not the max fake bid. Also the maximum fee eBay will charge I think for a game is £45 ($80) which equate to about a final max bid of £500. it gone way pass that and they are quids in.

That makes sense. I hadn't looked at the bidders but they all are new eBay members. What a scam. That's what pisses me off about eBay sellers. Wonder how many times they've gotten me for my max bid or close to. I've never bought anything that has been offered to me as second chance just cause I dont trust it.

yeah I looked at the bidders yesterday and it was clear that it was being artificially inflated.

What sucks is there's nothing anyone can do about it and it drives the price up if someone actually ends up paying that much for it. I guess thats kind of a good thing since I own one, but I would also like to find another one at a reasonable price so that I can open it and enjoy all the extras.

LOL- Can't make any promises.

Does anyone know the breakdown of the release. i know they said they made 1000 between PS3 and Xbox 360. Was that 500 each? Where they all NTSC release or where there some released in PAL format? Just curious.
