A "museum-quality" hoax? 
Look at those bids: $250K+ 
Simply amazing.

the winning bid was over $250k. Good luck collecting. There is another one on ebay now, described as not the one seen on tv.

There is an old saying," A fool ,and his money are soon parted"! I wonder if many of the bidders ever heard of it?

It is possible the seller or a cohort bid that up to that level and this is all a goof.

As far as a "cohort-in-crime" is concerned, I say , " A shill, is a shill, is a shill"! No matter in what type of transaction, if one is bid against, for the purpose of getting all the money from that person, then yes use a shill. The one is just as big a thief as the other! And ebay is full of them.

The news said the guys that faked it needed to sell it to raise money for their legal fees. I think they got charged with fraud or making fake reports.

And I thought the world was headed into recession. Evidently it's not affecting some people nearly as much as others.
