Default What am I not seeing in this 'for auction' item?

By my count, if everything were PERFECT, maybe $10k - $20k
tops. But $225,000?? Opening bid was $150,000 and the first
bidder hit the reserve.

A scam? Or am I really missing some incredible item in this lot?

Here's the link:

Inserts tongue firmly in cheek
Seller says "STUDIO MUST GO!!!!!!!!"

Maybe the building is included, especially as seller says "items
will
not be shipped". ;-)


"Delivey sic fee is an additonal $500.00"

I expect the single bidder is some kid playing games or an attempt at
fraud. They have zero feedback.


Or a shill.


Or maybe a new form of money transport and/or laundering
for drug traffickers? I doubt that either eBay or PayPal knows
(or cares?) whether actual goods were exchanged as long as
the buyer and seller are happy.
