What do you mean, it was bid up to $250?
That's almost ridiculous. Fifteen people bid on it up to $250.

Eleven of the bids were by one person, a veteran with 16 feedback, who alone pushed the bid from USD60 to just under the winning bid by someone else with 215 feedback.

Looks like someone put in a ridiculously high bid to make sure they won, but then got shilled by the seller to drive the price up. Another reason not to bid early.
That's weird. I didn't realise a Macintosh II could attract such a fierce bidding war to such a high price.
The last Mac II I saw on eBay UK sold for about £20 or £25 shipped. Thought about bidding on it but I don't have the space.
