domain Is WebMovieSearch.com worth $13,500?

Well, apparently someone does. Sedo's "Recent Sales" section posted it sold for $13,500. http://www.sedo.com/main.php3?language=us

Can someone explain that to me? The name was first created last month, May of 2007, barely 2 weeks ago and parked at GoDaddy. Something smells fishy here. A three word domain that I don't know if I would even bothered to register was sold for 13.5K. Did a Buick come with the sale?

There's lots of bogus sales on Sedo. People start with shill bids on their domains thinking that just because it's up for auction, some nincompoop will join in the bidding for a silly name at a ridiculous price.

my reaction was the same when i saw it. And most of the time, if you check the bidding history you see the same buyer outbidding himself 3-4 times for no reason lol.
That's a sign of something fishy going on already.

Where can I see the bidding history, if there is any? Sedo didn't say it was sold on thier platform or a private sale. This doesn't shed a good light on this at all ...
