It looks like this account may have been hacked/taken over.
The seller has only this on lot up for $89,745 it's all obviously not valuable. There are no other items listed. The seller feedback is from 6 months ago, buyer feedback from 12 months ago. It's been an inactive account for a while. I don't quite see why this person would do something like this other than for the attention of it... |

Wow! That is a good deal. Only $1,346.15 per stamp. As the vendor says - "VARY RARE ATTIC TREASURE" |

Quote: This US historically stamps have being circulated. The OP seller is allegedly in the US, but I don't recognize that as English. That might support the thought that the account was hacked. |

As has been often discussed in this forum, there is a thriving 3rd party business in the selling of existing ebay accounts. You can choose from aged accounts, accounts with high feedbacks, even accounts with Top Rated Seller status. There is also an active forum for this kind of thing. There are books and websites targeting help for released convicted criminals that show them how to 'start an ebay business' using a purchased ebay account. Don |

This has been one of the reasons that I have railed against the bogus ebay Feedback system for the last 4 years. ebay simply has no way to actually vet an account, it is not like they can afford to research and do discovery on 185 million accounts spread across the planet. It is child's play to buy some accounts, sign up for some reshippers accounts which hide your real location, and totally mask who you are; 10 minutes with some online searching will give you what you need.

I've said it many times here. The seller is just collecting offers. ebay forces the seller to put in a BIN price to use the best offer option. So they put in a ridiculous price on purpose so they can collect offers for a while. It's a very common, effective, and smart seller option. |
