JBl sells for $2,700??!?!
I just saw this (ebay) right before bidding ended. I can't figure out why on earth a jetBook Lite would go for so much!?

Any ideas?

I notice that the seller has no feedback. Apparently this is his first sale.

And the buyers bidding over ~$100 have no feedback.

Hey everyone! I just got a great deal on a jetBook on eBay! I can't believe my luck! It's my very first auction buy, too!

...oh, wait.

Seems the most likely explanation. Seems like an awfully public way to do it, but then I guess it just gets lost in the giant ebay shuffle.

This isn't a real sale. These are people building up their ebay profile so they can try and scam real people. They used to do this by buying a ton of cheap items but probably found fake transactions were easier, even with the ebay fees. The shill who "bought" the item will be leaving glowing feedback about his wonderful 2K JBL. One giveaway is feedback that appears within 1-2 days, before the buyer could actually have received the item.

The original, zero feedback dude will soon be trying to sell something fake/stolen/etc.

I saw this crap all the time when I was buying a lot of coins on ebay. If you don't know your stuff on ebay you can get royally bent over. Caveat emptor.
