Here is the link:
ipac, coindoor, and misc stuff (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260167739037&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016)
Anyways, I was watching this auction and it was up to roughly $40 I believe when I left work. I checked my ebay page this morning and was greeted with this. How did it turn into $1 being the winning bid and only one bid?? The only thing I can assume is the seller cancelled all bids but the first one, which was a shill bid because he wasn't going to get enough. I figured there would be some evidence though. Anyone care to chime in?

Look at the winning bidder bid history. I don't think it's a shill. Perhaps he and the seller worked out a deal and the seller left him as the high bidder @ $1.00 to save on fees and still get the feedback.

Wouldn't that be against eBay policy?

Yep. Happens all the time, though.

Yup, I just had someone ask me to do this on one of my auctions so we could "work out an arrangement" outside of eBay.
(I politely declined, FWIW)
