Yes you read well, someone on eBay bid $121,212 on a brand new Canon EOS 1D camera. And this does not even include a lens!

Check it out here.

Lol, maybe they thought the currency was in Yen.

My only guess would be that the high bidder is a friend of his and he's hoping someone will try to outbid ... if not ... no loss.

If you click on 'View seller's other items' you'll see that he has 221 items for sale - the majority of which have a bid of $121,212 on them ....

Methinks someone is having some fun with someone's eBay account.

Actually it would be quite a substantial loss. Ebay auctions include a final value fee where the seller pays a percentage of the final bid price.
