Has anyone else seen this?
auction linkClosing price was $2500.
Now, I'm not going to knock the work - the guy did a
very nice job with the details - but $2500?! What the hell?

I don't think it's a scam - if you look at the bidding history, about six different users bid on it from $1000 to $2500.
If it's a scam, he's using plenty of alt-IDs to make it look real.
It's entirely possible, though.

He also paid the extra money to get it on ebay's front page.
