To be specific, they don't have ANY track record.
What's the result of dividing by zero?

You pay what, under 10 cents to verify your
credit card? All the other bidders with a track record are elbowed aside
in favor of the 0 rated buyer who had never bid on an auction and in
many cased I've been in with them not only have never bid, but also
don't understand Ebay's bidding rules.
With nothing in the game, there is little risk to the guy who bid 0 to
try to negotiate a deal once all the other bidders have dispersed.
At least this one was not a $1100 dollar auction with this sort of bid,
and maybe the $11,000 bid is real if this guy tries something. You can
watch the feedback to see if he gets any for this auction. otherwise
won't know.

Subject: The Commodore 65
Zero feedback doesn't say anything about the trustworthiness of the
buyer other than it was worth registering to buy the item. Disparaging
a zero feedback user is like disparaging a newborn baby for crimes
they haven't committed yet.

Ok...anyone know who dropped the big 20 kilobux
on this one?

Not saying it's not worth it (I've certainly never seen a working one,
ever,) but the price is still a shock. Big $ for an Apple 1 I can
see...there are collectors of "cultural icons" like the original Apple
product outside of our hobby. I can't see the same being so for a
Commodore relic.

Won by a 0 feedback buyer, good luck getting $20K from them.
I never seen an Apple I being that big of a deal other then to people
who collect Apple, the C65 is the same for Commodore collectors. There
will always be collectors shelling out serious cash for the unusable
rarities while other collectors pay trivial amounts for the common
machines that actually have some software and hardware available.
