    Oh, I see what you guys mean now. The car he's selling is the same car he apparantly sold a few days ago.

    I didn't quite get it before, silly me.

    Yes but the reserve has not been met so more than likely got a mate to bid to give the impression that there is interest in the car, so although against ebay rules as it stands at the moment no harm is being done.
