The 70k bid was retracted, saying that it was a typo...he was bidding 20,000 and hit an extra zero, actually bidding 200,000.
(...now,
THAT would have made some news, eh?)
But, the interesting thing is...the way eBay proxy bidding works, if you bid higher than the reserve, it places a high bid at the reserve point...so the "errant-zero"-bid actually revealed the reserve... which was the 70k number... (gasp).
Auction ended with high bid of 33,200, reserve not met.
Item is relisted, now with starting bid of 30k.
