Last night we mentioned the
eBay auction of a
huge yacht. The sale of the 405-foot yacht has people speculating that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich might be
the buyer of the as-yet-unbuilt yacht which was, at $168 million (with an $85 million downpayment), the most expensive
eBay auction ever. From
Moscow News to
Forbes,
speculation is swirling about whether the auction is a real deal or not. Last time I checked, the yacht was
still
up for auction on eBay and is still listed on the
4Yacht website.
BYM News spoke with Craig Timm of 4Yacht and found out
that the auction had indeed not resulted in a firm sale and that the yacht is still up for bid. No comment though on
whether Roman Abramovich is actually among those interested in buying.

I don't think this is a real scam, just some hopefulls trying to get some free publicity from Ebay for a design that most probably never get built. A few years ago the Sausalito Amercica's Cup group tried a similar idea auctioning their challenge for approx $30 milion with no effect except publicity. They in the end collapsed.
