I hope it's for real but it's offly hard to believe... I paid with paypal already.  It's most likely too good to be true:

I gave it a shot anyhow... mostly likely an ebay noob that doesn't know what he's doing.

[Michail Wilson‏]

Heh.   Nope, you’ll never see it for that price.   Might get your money back though.

Got this from the guy:

New message from: zhch-12 (7)
hi,so sorry ,one thing to note is that because of ebay's restrictions on new sellers, the maximum price of the articles published can only be $200, This month's quota is running out.and the real price is $399.

What the heck does that mean? Well this guy started out on the wrong foot for sure. I almost feel sorry for him.

It means that he wanted to list "quite a few" items and had to use low starting prices. I guess the one in question didn't get bidded-up. The aggregate list value meant that he chose to risk not starting high.

Or am I missing a point here?

Naaa, it means he screwed up. He only had the one item listed.

It means, he wants $399 plus shipping for it. Not $1.

So, you can agree to pay $399 or cancel the winning bid.

Luckily he refunded my money... I really should give him bad feedback but he sounds like a noob.

[johnk‏]

What did he think would happen if he didn’t use a high starting price?

Can’t have his cake and eat it too!

I guess he doesn’t know what an auction is either  L(
