It's a limited edition poster autographed by the cast. The auction ends on August 30, but as of August 27, 7:14 PM CST, the bid is $735. It's legit, considering The Hub's Facebook page is the one who posted and linked to it.
The auction is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221108519145#ht_3095wt_882
Honestly, though, I can't believe how expensive things get when bronies bid on them. This is the fanbase where people are willing to pay $100 for a perfect plushie. But is the poster really worth over $700?

I guess it depends on if they are a collector or not, a signed poster can be worth a lot years later. But I don't think I could ever get myself to spend that much on one it just seems like way too much for a poster. o_o

No, plushies are going for such prices rather commonly.
I know of a Gala Fluttershy that went for $2475. I manged to only spend half a grand on plushies so far ovO
The poster hit $1000, wow. Well, it's a charity listing, bronies tend to make the price explode on these lol

Some bronies have absolutely no financial self-control; charity or no charity.
There was a time someone paid over a thousand dollars for a stupid Fluttershy doormat.

At least this poster has some worth. A doormat that you will rarely see and has very little use, all while not being made by the officials? I don't think so.
It's the low-quality fan-made content that ends up going for thousands of dollars is no excuse. I just wish Hasbro would step up their game when it comes to merchandise.
