 I can't tell whether the responses along these lines are honest
 misunderstandings or well hidden sarcasm.
 We all know the sale price of this item.  One sale does not a trend
 make.  Why can't someone provide either a useful answer or some useful
 information?
 
On eBay, these type of sellers try to manipulate the "trends", the sale
price that is. I bet the seller *knows* who the buyer is and arranged
this auction to be sold. Just so that the history logs on eBay will have
this on record as a legitimate sale for future reference. This is then
further abused when uninformed people refer to this past auction as a
reference to bid on future auctions for this item.
