One thing that may have influenced this final bid price was his ending time. It's not very wise to end an eBay auction at 1:30 in the morning on the east coast. Those of us who've been doing it a long time would have listed this at eBay prime time (that's Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evening at 7PM Pacific). Also, eBay is seasonal and this is THE worst time of the year to sell big ticket electronics.
I think he left about $500-$1000 on the table with this sale.
