An outlandish price for a bottle of beer and the subsequent release of
the purchase history makes me suspect that this is yet another person
looking for his moment in Ebay history. If it is a concocted story,
the seller sure went to a lot of effort creating those bidders, most
of whom have a separate history of bidding.
On the other hand wine collectors are known for paying outrageous
prices for bottles of old undrinkable wine.
