I guess in my old age I've gotten a bit slow on the uptake.
Can any of you Ebay pros tell me what this means?

For those without a browser, this Ebay auction item, under the heading

First bid: $50

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

It means that the silly Ebay user filled out the forms for an auction and
set it start even though there was nothing to sell. Now they are going to
have to explain to Ebay why they shouldn't be charged the $0.25 listing fee...

Well, it's either a dumb terminal or a very apt description of the person
who stuck this item on E-bay. Probably the latter.
