eBay Hold Open

I think this is over the top. Am I missing something? Sold for $222.50 + $12 shipping.

Bidding environments often bring out the stupid in some people.

Look at the bidding history of the two high bidders. Also look at the sales history of the seller. Looks like shill bidding to me.

Wow. Somebody really needed it.

If I'm reading it correctly the main bidder had 83% of his overall bids going to just this one seller. And the buyer 30%.

Yah, right...

The seller is in Bulgaria. I doubt regular US consumer will order gun parts from Bulgaria. Assume I am a Russian with permit, need a hold-open, where to find it? Order from US? Most US sellers don't ship gun parts to other countries. Order from Bulgaria is not a bad choice then. Just a guess.
