That auction does win the crazy prize for the week! But don't worry - the crazy sellers aren't just in Australia - they're also in the US:

If they find somebody paying that - let me know. I also have some cases I would sell for this... Image

See this seller:

The scary thing is I think some sucker will pay that much for it. Have a look through his feedback. See how much the prices have gone up in the last two months. He sold a 12 pack for $AU120, then three about the $AU200 mark.

It's not only E-Bay -- this vendor has high price on MRE's. MRE's bought individually -- you actually save even on the sale price of a box :?:

See price of individual meal on bottom-right of page.
