Item sold - but relisted shortly after?

HI - I was watching a laptop which was finally sold for the knock down price of $255.00. The starting price was $200.00.

 

However within half hour after the auction I see the laptop has been relisted with a BIN price of $550.00.

 

Should I suspect that the seller didn't think the price was high enough, advised the winning bidder that it wasn't available and relisted it in the hope of getting a better price?

Thanks

Looks like that to me.

 

Seller has only ever sold one other thing.  Maybe they started

the listing with an auction price and a BIN price,  thinking

the BIN price was the reserve.

 

A lot of inexperienced sellers think that way.

 

And I'll bet they get a shock when they get the bill for fvf's too

its possible the seller could have had a friend shill bidding on it and the friend accidently won it.
