"But if it's his friends bidding it up and they get stuck with it, do
you really think any money or parts change hands?"
Actually, YES. The seller will be responsible to e-Bay for their share
of a successful auction. (You don't think they do this for free do
you?), as well as the original listing fee, and if any money has to
actually exchange hands, the money handling fees, etc etc.

or as we used to say in the 70's:
A$$, Gas or Gra$$, Nobody rides for free! And as the decade went, it
was beer, then ........
