The thing that I found striking about that whole auction was not that that there was someone with a zero feedback score that posted silly bids and then won, but that there was someone else who was willing to meet and exceed his silly bids... (until the end, that is).
I don't get it, but then again, I'll be the first to admit that people and what they do can sometimes be a mystery....
(As a side note, I've occasionally seen auctions where the seller requires a minimum bid history to be eligible to participate...likely to avoid incidents just like this)

I suspected that the "winner" never had any intention to pay for the item, from the get-go, and that the sale would never be completed.
