I just looked at the page again and he's had over 5 million hits and offers for radio and TV!

so what happened to the larger bids - can people simply withdraw them at the last minute?

I'd love to know if he actually collects the $3850, although the auction winner has a 100% feedback rating.

I just saw an interview with the seller on MSNBC.  He was dressed in the gown over his black tshirt, minus the white blob on his face.  He has a full beard and mustache and longish hair which he comically kept flipping.  Says he plays guitar in a band at night.  Apparantly he did the Today show this morning.  He said that ebay stepped in when the bids  reached $99,000 and weeded out the ones that they didn't think were serious.  He plans on using the profits for a downpayment on a motorcycle so he has transportation to the Mariner's games.   ;D
