I agree with Jeff- I would just contact the next person below the idiot who put in the bogus bid and offer it to them. I won this card (sorry, shown many times) as a second chance offer and was more than happy that it was offered again to me, because I really wanted this card/combo, and was bummed when I lost. I never used sniping programs, and would just try in the last few seconds to bid higher.

As far as why someone would do something like this-could be many things- shady competition trying to frustrate you out of wanting to sell? Someone who got caught up in the heat of the moment and lost all sense of their financial reality? Hopefully ebay gives them the boot.
