The highest unsuccessful bid was also for $700 by
someone with a feedback rating of 232. He didn't
succeed because the winner had placed his $700 bid
the day before.
There were four bids for >$600, and one for $250.

I do think it was the well-written description and
all the pictures that pushed the price up into the
stratosphere.

Hi
Did anyone ask the bidders why they went so high?
There may be a valid reason. Looking at the other bidders
history, the next higher bidder was a regular buyer.
The winning bid was by someone that has made no other
purchases. He could have been a fake and wanted to see
how high things would go. I would be quite interested
to see how the sale goes through. The buyer has also
resently changed his handle. Makes one wonder?
