I have heard of cars being listed (not a Tiger of course), the number being
bid up, way out of expected range. Then 2-4 weeks later it is re-listed with
references to scum bag buyer not coming through with the cash, or some other
technical issue. I wonder...... Also remember the fake planted bids to try
to artificially raise a price, this never happens right....

Looks like the vultures are quick to try and ride this sale, too:

The bid history is interesting. The first 'high' bid (one that others
repeatedly tried to outbid) was $750 at Feb 25; then the eventual winner put
in a bid for 1000 and upped it to 1200. Then another guy got into it with a
bid at 1579; the would-be winner countered with 1750 (which would have given
him the lead) then put in a higher bid at 2295. The counter-bidder retook the
lead with 2579, then re-upped his bid to 2900. Then a bit of a race took
place. After the first buy tried to counter at 2695, the counterbidder raised
his bid to $3395, which was topped by the winning bid (and we don't know how
high that was - eBay gives the high bidder a price that is a minimum
increment
above the second-place bid).
Hopefully everybody had fun, the previous owner of this book gets an
unexpected windfall, and this doesn't set the tone for subsequent Tiger lit
auctions.
I had this happen a few years ago when I sold a set of dual quads. They were
near-unrebuildable and I clearly stated that; but just because they had the
right part numbers on the base, bidding shot up to $600.
Cheers,
