It was a private listing which 99.9% of the time means something dodgy like schill bidding. As a personal rule of thumb I won't buy anything that's a private listing and I know there's plenty of others like me too.

a few years back i remember seeing some motorbikes and they were massively over prices as if it were paying for other things shall we say.
the price was at least 100 times more than the value of the motorbike even if it was new

looks like the seller didnt sell to the highest bidder on the 8th ( or used another ID to push up the price, then ended up buying it himself)
and then on the 10th sold it buy it now - probably to a bidder from the other auction who didnt bid (originally) as much as 600, but was offered the car for 600, and accepted, and still wanted the protection of ebay for his purchase

surely you can't see the bidders on any listings now anyway (grr I hate that) No, but you can hover over this 'bidder one' nonsense and see some of the bid history with the seller. Also if a private listing the seller can get his mates running the bids up and if they win it they can leave good feedback. Then the seller can relist it and you won't be able to see what the feedback was for and won't realise you're bidding against the same mate when it's relisted. |

A lot of rare cars get sold as private listings so no one knows who bought what, lots of people in the same game so to speak know whos ebay ID belongs to who, escorts go like this all the time and obv porn mags ect so it don't show up on the buyers feedback what it was they bought  |

Looks to me like the winning bidder curse word him about so he made a 2nd chance offer to the next highest bidder. IIRC they're a BIN type listing.
Didn't think they were available to all and sundry to look at though so I may be wrong.

yeah ugly I know,
I want something I can use for work doing local lengthsman work, carrying my strimmer, saw and other tools about,
I want something I can take the roof off and even better, fold the screen down and not worry too much about mpg and knocking the interior/paint about.
