Same thing happened to me (and the friend wasn't into collecting at all).  I 
think this auction is getting publicity because of the unrealistically high 
price tag.  I can see $10K-$20K for this stuff, but not $100K.

It was also listed on the Slashdot main page yesterday.  I've been
getting invalid item on it since Stuart posted it here, but viewed
it fine the first time.  [Looks at Slashdot.]  Looks like eBay pulled
it around 10:00 p.m. EDT on Monday.

Just a guess, but I would expect that resale of development systems is prohibited. Weren't there a bunch of those included?
