Default The oddities of ebay

I watched the last hour of a 5-day auction for a Sony ICF-2010. The opening
bid was set at $150. No one placed a bid until the last ten seconds of the
auction. And the winner got the radio for $150 plus $13 shipping. The seller
has a 99.7% rating and he even offers a 7 day money back guarantee. The
radio was listed in the right category. Yet it sold for just $150. Strange
indeed.

Oh, here's the link:

Maybe a lower opening bid would have been more successful.
