I can answer that one, some people put in the wrong bid but don't want to be known as a retractor, so they wait to see as long as possible if their bid beaten so that way they don't have to retract it.....of course i know you are assuming the bad side of things..but it could also be what i stated.
The reserve was $29.95. I place a bid for $30.01. This bidder placed a bid of $31.00. How can that be a wrong bid?
And oh yeah, he has two more bid retractions since I posted this today. Up to 218 bid retractions in the past 6 months...a little more than 1 bid retractions per day over that period.
It's not a mistake, but can't figure out what he's doing or why? And how does eBay allow this?
