Starting bid was US $100.00, then after 23 bids slowly increasing from US $100.00 to 1000 then 10000 and eventually 15000..

this is a fail of such epic proportions that words cannot describe it. Are people that sad that they would spend what would buy a car on a graphics card that might get a couple more fps here and there? what is this world coming to?

Some people love to "show-off" their cards to other people irl, maybe that's the reason? i have no clue.

That, and it's a 6 display port model, or whatever it's called. I do believe that you could crossfire 2 of them, and use the absurd amount of 12 monitors

This must be some sort of company..
It's a viral marketing campaign from XFX you nubs.
Here's the Email they sent out if you were on their newsletter.
Dear XFX Customers,
In light of recent events, we have come to suspect that one of our 5970 Black Edition Limited cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialized pieces, #68 has been unaccounted for. Due to evidence of a security breach in our facility, we believe it to have been illegally obtained as the product has yet been released per the embargo date. Please be aware that the person responsible will be subject to persecution by law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of the suspect, or you can provide us with any information, please report it to [email protected]. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Sincerely,
XFX
