Still Sealed Mono Pepper

[jarvitronics]

Someone on ebay is selling a pristine, sealed Capitol Pepper, mono, first issue cover with no NEMS or Maclen references.

The bid was at 127.50, so I put in 130.00 and it immediately jumped to 132.50, as I suspected it would. (Confirming that somebody already has a secret "maximum bid" placed on the thing.) So I entered 200.00 and it immediately jumped to 202.50. That is all I have the stomach for, but I bet if I put in 500.00 it would immediately jump to 502.50.

Bidding lasts for seven more days. Does anybody want to guess what the final ungodly price is going to be? I'm thinking in the $3K neighborhood.

I'll guess $4,250.50

Might not help much here, as it will probably get up into four figures. I have to wonder if the "no reserve" business is because he shilled his own auction. Not making any accusations of course, just wondering.. It does look to be pretty untouched, so probably the never opened part is true.
