Yes it has. Do you really think the bid is legitimate?

Legitimate in that it is actually there! Yes!
Will the buyer follow thru on it?? Unknown!

Are we the victims of a big hoax? I sure hope so!

I think someone is messing with the seller. I bet the good people at ebay are excited about the commision on this one. I bet it goes over 100k before the auction ends.

$80,100 with 6 different bidders. Something is amiss.

Not sure who it could be. But I like whoever is doing it.

Has it been 100% determined its not authentic. I blew up photos on my good monitor as best I could and you can see some pitting on one photo, making me fairly confident its NOT a decal....

It does look off in the fact the letters are not wrapped, but the T does not look off compared to some other examples I see.

I am not trying to sound in the Know here at all...just interested in knowing if its real or not. Obviously it looks different than others...

This is all a fake game, or the doors of MercyWood are unlocked.

For way less than $200 that logo could be screened on....a decal would be ridiculous....I vote fake, just from the looks of it....the white is way to white compared to the faded body of the can, IMO.

No surprise it was ended early! Seller finally realized something was amiss.

That was entertaining to say the least! This should happen more often with fake items. Maybe it will hit these seller's harder than reporting their items and trying to educate them.
