There has been a regular flow of 0 feedback bidders from Thailand selling the most awesome items going, AFA, MISB, the works. Pretty sure it is one almighty scam and I think most bidders are onto it, hence the low price.
My theory is that they are getting pictures from other auctions then setting up a paypal account getting that one payment and disappearing with the money.

I wish I put a bid on it -- Oh well :P

Didn't see second page of posts, now I'm thankful I didn't bid

Yes, for example here was an interesting recent auction from a similar seller, can pretty much guarantee it's a scam.

Aaaand another one of these scam-masters just put up a MIB Black Zarak:

And here is the legitimate auction that they copied the photos and description from:

I tried to report the item but eBay wanted me to navigate through a series of drop down menus instead of just leaving a brief comment. They don't pay me, I won't do their job for them.

They don't pay me, I won't do their job for them.

and unfortunately that's how they like it because it means less work for them. which makes it a lot easier for scalpers and scammers to thrive.

I've done the same where the drop down options just didn't fit what I wanted to say and the fields were unapplicable I ended up giving up.

llama, that last seller is legit. I have dealt with babeconvoy before.
The other sellers were all 0 feedback/transactions.

That's what he was saying - that the last auction is the real one, and the fake one above it was stealing his photos to scam a sale.
