More to the point, the scammer is feedback building-take a look how he got his 1 feedback-from another 0 feedback user with a similar layout to his user ID. I bet the 'buyer' of the quad is another low feedback user too and so on...

Worth keeping an eye on this one, methinks. There's probably a big scam about to be attempted.

Anyone fancy a play when he starts properly?

Not me...

I suspect someone bid between him checking his scam bid was winning and him ending early to sell to the scam account.
