  Noel, I've observed this quite some times now on
ebay: Some people put up
 auctions for a price and the auctions end with no bidders. Afterwards,
 they re-list the
 items long term (so no auction) with higher prices. They go fishing for the
 rare number of people interested in these things.
 
I saw something similar recently on Freegeek Portland's eBay store. They
listed a customized Atari Falcon030 and it "sold" for $481. Then apparently
the buyer backed out, so they relisted it, starting at $499. At
http://ebay.to/1P9Zr0y it shows it as "Ended" but I don't see a buyer
anywhere.
 Cheers,
 Pierre

 It doesn't sell for $25? Fine, re-list it at $35!
