Seriously! People that desperate to buy [TF2] items off ebay?

So a usual cruise on ebay for rare and unique gaming related items when I came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Team-Fortress-2-Mann-Co-Supply-Crate-7-/110628464411?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item19c1f8671b

HOLY S***!! People really that desperate for Team Fortress 2 items? I mean I clearly imagine the bidder to be an obvious troll but still, someone eventually purchased this.

Looking at the rest here:
http://video-games.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=tf2&_sacat=1249&_odkw=tf2&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

There are actually people who instead of actually PLAYING IT are simply purchasing the items.
Just takes the fun out of finding and trading

Doesn't Valve have some sort of policy against this?

Yes, they likely do and there's no way in hell that crate auction is legit. This would probably be better discussed in the TF2 thread, however.

Also pretty much none of those items have bids.
