Most likely trying to piggyback off the Dr Who 50th Anniversary mini hype/angle (23 Nov '63), much like the $8000 WCS that sold at auction a few years ago when Australia actually made it past the first round of the World Cup.
Someone actually paid 8k for a wcs?
Wow!
Dr who is a great game for sure but 8k is mental but hey it's only about 5.5k over-priced!
