Judge Dred (Fred)The seller has other items listed with a minimal starting bid and low BIN. The $16.99 was probably the BIN price. I doubt a deal was struck between buyer and seller because of the time difference between the time the auction started and the time that the item was BIN'd. If there was only a few minutes or so between the time the time the auction started and the time it ended then I might be a little suspicious. Also, it doesn't appear that the seller cancelled any auctions with these items therefore the $16.99 was probably the original BIN.
