| | | McDonald's Monoply Peces...ebay
Check this out [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3152290849&category=768.[/url] Seems like someone is selling a Boardwalk and Tennessee Avenue game piece. The current bid is $1,250,100. Now tell me....why is it going for that much??? The boardwalk+park place= $1,000,000. But that still leaves $250,100. The NY Avenue+St James+Tennessee Avenue wins the Bose Audio system....Is that worth $250,100....NO. Yesterday the bids were around $800,000. Is this a hoax? Or maybe someone manufacturing the pieces gave it to a family member to sell? I find it hard to be fake, because the seller wont get very far scamming people for over a million bucks! The winner of this auction is losing money. Whats going on here? |

| | | I'm way lost to. The bidding is now up to 2.5 million with a day to go. The picture on the ad has something fuzzed out. Is it an old expiration date from a prior game. Looking at his feedback, he's sells mostly **'s and things.
I've got it bookmarked to see where the bidding ends.

| | | The thing blurred out is a barcode that most likely is used to identify that is the correct piece. Although I really dont see how someone can be so stupid not to know how much their worth...... |

| | | If it's someone playing a joke, they're going to be suprised by the eBay fees on 2.8Million.

| | | To place a bid of US $15,000.00 or more, you'll need to provide a valid credit card or complete the ID Verify process ($5).
Um sure ok. The blurred pic is done on purpose and is obviously a FAKE.

| | | The picture of the piece is of a current game piece. I compared it to the ones I have and what is blurred are numbers, most likely for identification as edh said.

| | | If it is real, then why are the identification blurred? Sounds like someone is trying to hid something.

I'm sure eBay has some kind of robot that lets them when bidding reaches a minimum level so that they can monitor it.
