The point of the deleted post was that given the proliferation of scams involving fraudulent methods of payment (such as "overpaying" with a large money order or check that is actually a forged instrument, and then getting the seller/victim to become an unwitting accomplice in the crime by having him cash the forged instrument and send part or all of the excess payment along with the goods), bidding an auction way up over the full retail price may become a more common occurance. Since the scammer is not going to pay with real money, but rather is hoping to get the seller to become an unwitting accomplice in perpetrating a forgery, the price paid at the auction becomes irrelevant. (Which is not to suggest that every overbid auction is won by a scammer.)
The post's style was in imitation of one of the most infamous of the Nigerian 419 scam letters, ostensibly written by "Miriam Abacha" or some similar name, the widow of the late Nigerian dictator, etc.
To me, it was obviously just a spoof, but anyway . . .
