Perhaps the earlier auction explains the current one. The current
seller saw that auction price when searching for a value for his Apple
IIe and thought that $4700 was a fair price. Sure, it's high, but if
you don't know what older computers are going for you might be
inclined to believe your 'antique' is worth a great deal. Is that a
plausible explanation?
I still don't know why anyone would make a ridiculous bid as it as a
(somewhat) legally binding contract. One might find themselves being
sued, even if only in small claims court, and end up with a serious
problem.
