I also contacted this seller about item #300034369553 - METEORITE offered at £7,000,000 starting price, saying that he will never have a single bid and I received the following reply:
'Of course when someone's grandaddy bought a large house his friends only jested that it might make a million one day. And of course you'ver NEVER seen a house advertised for £1million or more......... '
Well,... humour...?
I do not know what ebay insertion fees have to be paid with such a starting price and do not want to use time counting, but it must be high! What kind of game is this?
Cheers
Frederic
