Cause he's just listing it for the free credits that listia gives you for listing your first auction. He could care less about shipping it. Plus if he does 10 of these pick up only auctions, and someone is dumb enough to bid on it, he gets a trusted seller badge, then he can start ripping people off after that and its alot easier. You could list a pile of hot dog crap on listia and someone will be stupid enough to bid on it. Too many little kids here. Good thing thats all ending soon once the verification system is put in place as a requirement.
