Scotty and I had the same thing happen on eBay. 2 bidders went nuts on a Dodgers Fritos card and bid the item up to $1,000. I thought it was a $750 to $800 item. Then they proceeded to retract their bids until it was back to $249. We decided to cancel the bids, the auction and block both bidders. We eventually relisted it and sold it in our expected range.
The funny thing is that the bidder who bid it up is a member here and was annoyed with us for canceling the auction. He didn't think he did anything wrong by bidding it up and retracting his bids....his quote "it is done all the time". I checked the other day and he has something like 18 bid retractions in the last 12 months. I won't out the member because it doesn't look like he very active here, but if you ever have any Dodgers Frito cards available...contact me.
