Myself and Wolfgang Gruener have just sat, with our mouths agape, as a Playstation 3 bidding war on Ebay reached $10,001.00 a few minutes ago. We nearly fell off of our chairs when it went to $15,000 with mere seconds to go; and finally the winner of the hotly contested bidding war, which began at $1, was a user from the UK who bid $15,100 to become to proud new owner of a Playstation 3.

As an employee of Gamestop I know that you cannot pick up you system unless you are the person who pre-ordered it. You need a valid ID that matches what the computer pulls up for the receit, otherwise your sol.

In the auction link Neon posted it says

Ricky Bobby is not the first Blu-ray disc to be released. One of the first discs was "The Fifth Element" which was released months ago. I also don't think that seller is going to get that amount.

Yea. I saw that one last night, but the last legit bid is around $2500. Possibly $5000, but I dont know if I would allow the bids from people with no feedback.

I read that there are people going around and bidding ridiculous amounts of money with fake information with the intent to not pay, just so they can screw over all the people who are buying a ps3 just to put it on ebay.
