600 credits on eBay for full price, plus 21,000 saved credits

Found another auction on eBay for 6000 credits. Sorry if the link to eBay has expired, but here's the relevant details:

• 6000 unit membership "worth $12,500" with NO RESERVE!
• Fully paid
• Seller will pay $200 transfer fee
• 21,000 credits available NOW
• 7000 credits available in June (anniversary of membership)
• eBay item: 517309668
• eBay seller: mike_simpson71 (zero rating)
  

I don't know how old the membership is, but to have 21,000 credits needs at least 4 years-worth of savings with only 7000 credits used.

Hold on -- why is it a 6000-credit membership with 7000 points coming in June? I suspect it is really a 7000-credit membership which means that there are 3x7000 = 21,000 points saved -- that means they've never used it!

How much does the seller want? Starting bid = $12,000! For something you can buy directly from Trendwest for only $12,300 (with a free stereo system!). But hey, there's no reserve!

Nup, that one won't sell.
