The only thing I have to say to this is... WOW.

[guest7146]

I've been watching the bidding on this over the last few days, and for a long time it was hovering at the £1000 mark.  I thought;

'If I had a spare grand sitting around that I didn't mind spending, I'd definitely pay that for it.  A bit more, even.'

...but £4300??? WAY out of my league that's for sure!

Congratulations to the lucky seller! And the lucky buyer!

[Karlos]

Wow, someone really wanted that system at any cost

More like the seller didn't get what he wanted for it or changed his mind about selling and used a shill account to bid it up to a stupid amount.

I love my A4000 - but 5 grand??!!!  Thats dual-head top of the line nvidia or ATI graphics, 12G ram, dual processor fully loaded crysis2 mutilator money with a couple of big monitors, several TB of storage, a solid state drive or three, and a nice nkro cherry switched mech keyboard.

[guest7146]

That doesn't compute.  The only way the bidding could have got to that amount is if someone else wanted it enough to pay >£4000 for it.  Even if he did do what you said (i doubt it personally) then he'd still need a competing buyer willing to pay the big bucks.

AH

Two shills are better than one.

I see the bidders names have been made private too, it always raises my suspicions does that.

[Digiman]

Overpriced.

Yeah the bidders are always private these days I think.  I think it's Ebay's attempt at maintaining privacy.

Seller decides NOT ebay.

For that price I would want Toaster4000, VLAB PAR and Chromakey.....oh and boxed copies of every genuinely rare game in sealed packaging.

But as it hasn't I will spend my money on a $1 PS1+Wipeouttrilogy+Quake and a sports car and not shed any tears over this "bargain" :roflmao:

I always set my auctions to private these days because in the past people bidding on my stuff have been contacted by scam artists pretending to be me trying to get them to pay via money transfer.
