Ridiculous ebay listing

[beachhead2]

It's crazy. I'm new here. From now on when I see something so off the wall, I'll post it. Imagine someone showing you that ball and telling you they paid $150 for it. "Xerox", "Taiwan"?

Do you think this eBay seller is exagerating this listing?

What is the ".ca trick"?

If you look at sold listings now, ebay chose to hide the sale price on best offers. However, if you go up to the URL and change ".com" to ".ca" (or maybe another country), it will show you the sale price. I understand that it's only a matter of time before that changes as well. Why ebay has decided to hide that is anyone's guess.

This is only a total guess but maybe the law in Canada states that final auction prices, from an auction house, must be made public??

No, ebay just hasn't gotten around to it yet...when they do something new they almost always implement it in the US first and it slowly makes it's way to all versions. And technically ebay isn't an auction house and their listings really aren't auctions. Ever been to an auction with a specific ending time on each lot and the winning bidder is the last one to sneak a bid in?
