    hmm it makes sense... tho odd that there wasnt any other bidders in between. So someone stepped in straight to the asking price. no competition
    well good for the 912's SWT to have risen to an appreciative level

    Though I don't believe that my suggested scenario happened:

    There is a possibility that the owner would have an alias eBay account. That alias account would then bid up to reserve amount to flush away the small fry spenders and get some real numbers on the board. I am so opposed to that {fill in blank} CEO Meg Whitman and her political double talk that I refuse to use eBay. Blahhh
