Je suis... gobsmacked


My wife noticed the above eBay listing yesterday.  An eBay seller offering the recent issue of Charlie Hebdo for 2,000 Euros.  Further searching revealed this one:


This morning I checked eBay to find actual sales - not just offers - and found...


That one actually sold for over $400.  So I pulled a complete listing of "sold" items ranked from highest price.  At the top was...


$20,000, with 117 bids from a variety of bidders. 

Some of this may be fakery, with false bids from fake accounts.  When I rank the "sold" items by lowest price+shipping, I see quite a few being sold for $1 or so.
