either it's a scam or b.s.

But...all the other ones start at $5100, so i wonder if they made a mistake and missed a zero in the listing.

all the other ones are buy it now..this one is up for auction and they know itll go up eventually..

they might lose some but every once in a while businesses lose some $ to gain some loyal customers and what not

but i guess it could be a scam....

looks like they just had the starting bid that low, a lot of times people will have the starting bid low to attract more people to bid on an item. Like it was mentioned above they have the same kit for sale for $5000. There is still 8 days left on the auction so it is quite possible that the bids will go up by the time the aution ends. Being a ebay regular I have seen plenty of items start off at .99 and sell for hundreds of dollars. I have no idea about the validity or reputation of the seller but thats just my 2 cents.

Cool

Ummm...it is an AUCTION.

The seller listed it low.....hopes it gets bid up to where he needs it to be...and if it doesn't, he can cancel just before the end and say sorry, it is no longer for sale.

it's a shame it won't stay at that crazy price with stupid people increasing the price by bidding too early.

Its a totally fake auction i think.!
Sellers with a feedback of 50 or less do not get covered by the ebay protection. I just went through this trying to buy a cell phone.!
If the feedback is above 50 then you are protected.!
I learned this the hard way.!! Dont do it man.!
