EBayer tried selling fake Google Glass and bids went up to $15,900

It only lasted a few hours, but eBay has taken down an auction from a seller claiming to have a pair of Google Glass.
The auction went up to $15,900, showing massive demand for the augmented reality glasses that Google recently unveiled.

In the auction, the seller claimed he was able to purchase the glasses through Google's #ifihadglass competition. Unfortunately for the seller, the claim was completely false, as Google will not be letting winners know until mid-March. In fact, the competition only closed today. Winners are also barred from reselling the devices, as per Google's rules.

Here is the cache of the page (including the awfully written description):
