Is that the rare VIC Enzo Ferrari designed?

I'm afraid it's a conventional, second edition VIC. I' can't explain why the price got so high.
I wouldn't buy it even if it was the last VIC on Earth.

And is not tested too !!!!

This auction it's really strange, the maximum saw by me in Italy was 80/90 Euro but for a working Vic with a lot of accessories...

PS: highest bids are from users with feedback (0), I suspect it's a swindle

Fake bids eh? It's possible... But someone is being cheated here.

Maybe if it was the first VIC on Earth!

...and then there's another one, roughly half the price:

...which is way too much either, and is wrongly described as "the very first VIC model" (note it's NOT a 2-prong PSU).
I wonder why prices in Italy are always excessive

There's a local scheme I've noticed. A person sells an item on craigslist (a local free classified site); posts a fake ad on eBay with a high buy-it-now price; and links the eBay auction to the real ad as a justification of the price. Ie. "I'm selling this for half the price it's currently going for on eBay".
