    How can an mp3 player be only .01 cent with free shipping?

    Search: "8GB 1.8" MP3/MP4 FM VEDIO RADIO PLAYER+GIFTS/FREE SHIP" on eBay! There are thousands of them and no need to bid against anyone!

    How can that be??? :confused:

    I know that they are not yours ( I hope so :D ).
    Anyway, I found an answer and it took me like 2 minutes ! There's a fake bot or something similar - when I place a bid, instantly & accidentally someone gives a higher bid ( in the matter of seconds ).

    Take a look at this screenshot ( bid history ) : http://i42.tinypic.com/2gxeo8w.png

    yea, i just tried a bid too...it's a proxy bid...it automatically bids for the other person until the auction reaches their maximum bid...

    I also see that, as the auctions get close to expiring the bidding goes up fast...still there are some mp3 auctions at only .06cents with only an hour and change to go...wild...:D

    Yap, found it only now ( I don't know anything specific about eBay and it's options :eek: ). Though, they all are from China and you can buy them for a few bucks ( wholesale pages ) without using eBay !

    8 GB for 11$ - pretty good deal ( assuming that 2GB's are being sold for 10-15$ ) :rolleyes:
