Assuming the buyer is legit.

If they aren't smart enough to realize that their prices are in some cases 100 times overpriced and that even the dumbest buyer is not going to pay that price. I can't see them trying to build interest by creating a false account and buying their items.The buyer might not be legit but I don't think it is theirs.

They post a few items, at ludicrous prices, hoping for a newbie buyer. They re-shrink items "for protection," adding to the psychological value of each piece. They do not accept PayPal, so they are more immune to charge-back and other costs associated with that service.If they sell one item a month, they still do better than most sellers and with a lot less work. It might work.Mark

But posting them for public consumption in an ongoing auction? No, that won't do. That's just way out of bounds. That seller is just an embarrassment, for a number of reasons.
