I thought it might be a hoax but I noted that there are a number of legit eBay members who bid high. My guess is that he set excessively high so that it would not sell on eBay. Then he could contact the high bidder directly and avoid eBay's fee's. Even if this is still the case, I can't believe that issue, with those signatures could possibly be worth so much. I'd rather sink my money into more hardware. But I suppose if you're willing to blow that kinda dough on some autographs, you have plenty left to blow on other toys. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
