i think you'll find he has purposley gone in and done that it was originally advertised at starting bid of $2000 and buy now of $3000.guarantee it would have sold with an offer before auction ends and you go back into the ad put a rediculous amount on it no one bids the auction ends and you only pay for the listing and not the percentage of sale price a lot of people do it its a way we can get back at e bay for their rediculous fees.cheers
