I'm confused on why this is currently sitting at $19,800 on ebay.

Is it a joke?

I don't see anything unique about it. @_@

Money laundering?

Is it fake bidding to drive the price up?

Yeah, possible shill bidding there... unless there's a valid reason anyone would bid on the same item 24 times in a row.

I can go to lukiegames.com and by the game without the box or manual for $28.00, This must be a joke.

Occasionally ebay gets hit with automated bidding attacks on random items.

And yet eBay does nothing about it.

4chan picked this out randomly in an attempt to bump the bid to 1 trillion dollars.

It's archived on chanarchive.org I just cant get the link because I'm at work, and obviously, you don't wanna hang out on 4chan-related stuff at work.

Move along, nothing to see here.

No. See a few posts up, and/or look at completed listings and you will see that this one is a 'prank' and many have sold for $15-30 in the past month.

Ebay won't ever do anything to you...
Unless you're a seller.

No, this isn't a legitimate sale, so it shouldn't effect prices.
