No it isn't. Nor was any scam involved. The buyer had hazarded that much on the outcome of the auction. Those who didn't follow the auction are not in a position to judge the outcome, although they are entitled to be amazed or amused, according to taste. Top bid of five was $62 or so with half a minute to go, but that bid was proxy for a max. bid of the winning amount of $150.47 or more. It was only because of another bidder's failed attempt to do the same thing: place a bid high enough to overcome all other bids, that the winning bidder's max bid was revealed. The winning bidder wanted the card that much. Good luck to him/her/it/them. And good luck to the seller in receiving more than could reasonably have been expected.
Not even Charity Auctions—auctions to benefit charities, not to sell them—are charities themselves. Auctions are real, and only top bid wins.
As for the card itself, the seller made no bones about the mods needed to use the card in an SE/30 in his answer, on his selling page, to a question. Of the two IIsi 030 PDS cards from DayStar, the card shown may be less suited to an SE/30 for the reasons advanced by JDW. I have a DayStar IIsi DUALPORT, 1991, that lacks the downward board projection. It is, however, 7-3/8" long, with the IIci and IIsi PDS connectors. Without rushing out to the dining room table to make a mockup of SE/30 chassis, MLB and cards, I have no opinion about the greater 'suitability' of either card.
The only point at which I could have thought the seller to be on shaky ground was in his exhortation to buyers:
Why hasn't that method of acceleration occurred to us in this forum?
