Well I know of the guy who has put it up and he's legit just broke - doubt the bidders are particularly serious though, as you can no doubt guess!

£10,100 now. These people must be hoping to god they don't win!

Don't know to be honest. How much recourse would Ebay have if someone with no bidding history just said "sorry, don't have the money to pay"?

One of those spoof auctions. The winning bidder would have received absolutely nothing.

The Register article about it

The Q&A section was hilarious.
