That was a pretty slick investment...

Or if you're only partially retarded, you can get it for $5,100:

It's sealed - if you break the seal to make sure it's in there, does it lose half it's value

Well, he is offering free shipping.

That's an auction that still under way for another 4 days or so (same seller), so who knows how high it'll go.  I'd bet that whatever price it bids up to, the transaction won't end up actually completing.  

I find it interesting that the current top bidder has only ever bid with this particular seller.  Sock-puppet?

According to this site, it's only worth $50 - $150.

Yeah, there's a lot of fake bidding going on. So when ebay list "average price" all their real items appear to be cheap.

When I was looking for a Nexus 5, there were a lot of them for sale around $850. No-one bought them, but they made $500 seam cheap.

That's probably what this guy is trying to do.
