I don't understand this auction

A 6 switch 2600, not "heavy", no games and it's sitting on $137.50 with an hour to go.

 

I don't understand. Most 2600s I see on the local eBay are lucky to go for $15 if they have no games or only one or two.

 

Not only is it just the later 6er, but it hasn't even been powered "for many years" so mightn't even work any more.

It looks like a newbie bidding war!

Around the holidays I was astonished to see an auction for an original Gameboy Advance, loose, not in box or in any conceivable collector condition, go well above $75. and no it wasn't modded with an afterburner.

 

I forget the closing cost but it ended for more than a new SP.

 

I just shook my head in disbelief.
