I really doubt "jamesyencken" is going to pay the $2,000,000+ dollars he's promising for that copy of Doom 3. I don't want to live in a world where one anonymous stranger is unable to make an obscene profit from an auction on a newly released game just because another anonymous stranger decides to bid decidedly silly amounts with no intention of paying. Truly sad.
I rented the movie Hellboy a couple nights ago. Was it just me or is that film pretty awful?

no, thats 20 million... (Score:2)
some how I think once he realizes what he's done, there will be some frantic e-mails.
That being said; $100 isn't bad haul for a $50 video game.

Wow, most of the bidders are NARU (Not a Registered User) now. Seller gets to file UPI (Unpaid Item) and get any FVF (Final Value Fees) refunded. The original bidder would've paid up to $100 for the stupid thing. ~$30 profit (after fees) isn't bad at all for a single item.
I don't think they do anything other than banning the acct, though. Of course, new email = new acct = new license to be an ass.
