How can, for instance a $170 game like ROck band be selling for 99 cents? The feedback is positive, but how could someone be selling something that expensive for a dollar? What is the catch?

I assume that is the opening price, not the final selling price. Did the seller put a reserve price on it. Usually a seller will start will a very low opening price just to attract people to bid on it. Wait until the end of the bidding period and if the item is very popular you will see it go for a lot more than 99 cents. Also if the seller is able to purchase a number of these games at a much reduced price, he can put them on EBay at a low opening price and if he gets a lot of bidders, he will make a good profit.

There are times when people have ads that look like the real thing, but when you read the full sale, you will notice they are selling a chance at the item, or even telling you how to get the item cheap. There are lots of scams out there, so look carefully. If it is legit, they probably just started the auction. Only bid on things you know are really what you want.

By the time the auction is finished, the price has gone up dramatically.

It's used and it's not guaranteed.
