Why pay "more" for USED??

I was watching that bid as well and i could not believe that the Nautious 802's went for more than list.
I emailed the person selling them as I had some dialog with the guy and asked him if he was actually going to take the guys money. TO date no answer.

the guy has been suspended from ebay. it's a damn shame, too. a damn shame. you can email him to express your sorrow and give your support. his name's robert morris and you need to go to the link below to send emails via ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1226445468

I was so curious about this auction and nervous as now I have a pair of B&W 805's on ebay, I emailed the seller and told them about this thread on audiogon. They were nice enough to respond. Here's what they said:
Hey,
Thanks for sending the link ... I see our good customer bbroussard
was sticking up for us. Frankly we were astonished at that auction
ourselves, and nervous because we knew the speakers weren't worth
even close to that. We were answering emails the night before the
auction ended and telling people, "you don't want these speakers,
they are already too high".
I reported the high bidder to eBay and he now enjoys non-registered
status...of course he was bogus. B&W's (804s and 805s) have
generated some "interesting" auctions for us with frenzied, crazy
bidding.
We are gonna put some 804s on soon, can't wait.

Seems like reasonable sellers to me!

I screwed up: The BIDDER, not the seller (rober morris) was suspended from ebay. SO SORRY!!
