Look at the bid history.  Note the second-to-last bid.  Then have a look at
the website of that bidder.  <www.jimmytong.com>
   Someone got suckered into outbidding a dealer who was raising the price
beyond its fair market value. Note the times of the bids.  The winning
bidder had a reserve price that exceeded that of the dealer who bumped up
the price.  You have to watch how you bid on eBay, or you will get burned
badly.
