The intentions are pretty clear (hoping someone will fall for the specs, not reading the really important information about the auction... preferably some foreign bidders).

Though, I'd have to say that in this case I think that doesn't really matter, because I think one has to stay alert as a buyer aswell. If one doesn't really understand what one is bidding on, then one shouldn't bid.

But still... it bothers me. Because I don't wan't to find something I really want from, let's say the German eBay, just to realise that it was somewhere written something, that for someone that doesn't know German well will be mistranslated. Since I don't know German well, I will thus never ever be sure as of what I am buying unless the seller can reply to a question in english.

On the other hand. This auction could very well be just a hoax, with the seller having friends making the bids, just to cause a stir.

Oh, well, anyways.

eBay is crap and will always be crap.
