IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A KNOWLEGABLE BIDDER MIGHT WANT AN ITEM BAD ENOUGH TO CONTINUE BIDDING UNTIL A RESERVE IS MET. BUT IN THIS CASE THE BIDDER HAD ONLY 3 FEEDBACKS AND THE ITEM WAS DEFINITELY NOT A SLEEPER AT THAT PRICE CONSIDERING WHAT IT IS. SO I TOO SUSPECT ULTERIOR MOTIVES IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF IT IS REPORTED TO EBAY THAT THE BUYER DID NOT SEND PAYMENT AND RELISTED, THAT WAY THE SELLER WOULD ONLY BE OUT THE LISTING AND RESERVE FEES FROM EBAY, WHICH WOULD BE A SURE SIGN OF DIRTY DEEDS.

I WONDER IF A PERSON COULD DO THIS ON EBAY AND THEN USE THE EBAY BOGUS SALE TO GET INSURANCE ON AN ITEM AT A VERY HIGH ESTIMITE AND THEN LOOSE IT AND COLLECT THE INSURANCE. IF THATS LEGAL I COULD DO IT WITH MY STUFF AND BURN DOWN THE HOUSE AND BE A VERY RICH MAN.

NAH !! I LIKE MY STUFF TOO MUCH TO DO THAT JUST FOR MONEY.
