  If you take a look at the bidding, you will see only
four people bid on it,
 with two of them having zero feedback ratings.  Sounds like the best
 advertising strategy for ebay is to simply say something is *very* rare. 
Maybe, but zero feedback isn't realy a thing to rate -
I did a lot of eBay transactions within the last year
(>20) and have still a feedback of Zero - I don't care.
