Why is this 510 going for so much on Ebay?

[kbohip]

I'm looking to sell my old 510 on Ebay and was looking around to see what others are going for. I found this one going for $200.00. Most of the others I see going for around $100-130.

What makes this one so special? It looks exactly like mine and it also has the yellow card. He mentions that it doesn't have the JTAG port on the bottom. Is this important to note in the auction? Mine doesn't have one either, although I don't know why it would matter.

Any one have any ideas?

I would guess the receiver doesn't have a balance.

if he's bringing up jtag, it's probably been hacked, but no port means it can't be updated. Either way you don't need to talk about that in your auction.

Heck, I got a 510 for sale for $160 without a balance. That makes mine look like a bargain but it still wont sell. New ones retail for $299.

kind of weird it is going for so much more. i see he has 100 percent positve feedback. he could also be bidding it up under another name.

You would think that the other bidders would stop bidding though when the price got way up high.

It ended up selling for $200. Crazy. I bought my 522 just a week ago for $160 BIN. I hope I can get $200 for my 510 but I'm not going to hold my breath.
