Seems like the seller wanted to encourage 'auction fever' to drive the price up. That happens a lot at in-person auctions, but I don't think the concept translates to on-line very well. People have time to think. I wonder what the highest 'real' bid was........? Nothing stopping the seller from quietly contacting the high bidder to make a deal.....
He's just dreamin! He's just going to relist it, testing the waters! Don't forget, listing a car on eBay is FREE & only costs if you sell it! There are a couple of VW EuroVan campers from CO that have been relisted at least 50 times over the last year or so. The guy is just a complete idiot, that's all! Clark
