Thing is, every other N73 is making around Ł200-Ł250. So, can't see why those are so high. They have been Ł400+ since lunchtime. Do you think the seller actually thinks they are going to get that for them?

The first one made Ł808, the second one Ł1020.
What is the scam then?

It's a buyers scam.
I as a genuine buyer bid half what the phone is worth.
I then get 2 of my mates/dummy accounts/stolen accounts to bid it up to a stupid amount.
This means no one else is interested.
Then when you get to the bottom of the shit bids, and find a genuine bidder, the maximum is much less than it would have usually sold for.
Make sense?

I just can't understand why in a list of those phones, only 2 have been scammed. The others are all Ł200 ish.

If you look at both of those auctions the winning bidders have been members of ebay less than a day.
