That guy is a marketing genius. A million hits!?

And a hundred bids! Wish my auctions would draw that kind of action.

Wish I could write copy like that, too. (I wonder if there could be a connection there somewhere.)

the number of bids? But US $99,999,999.00 ??? Come on, there's no way that can be real.

When I first looked at it earlier today it was at $690, which was realistic. With all the publicity (I've seen the link in about 7 different places including Compuserve's publishing forum) somebody's decided to screw with the seller, is all.

A hundred bids ain't hard. It's the top dollar that is. I hope he gets his money!

Yeah, it was realistic when I first looked at it. If this whole thing isn't totally bogus, I think the seller needs to cancel a bunch of those outrageous bids and get the auction back in the range of the serious bidders.
