This behavior is no predictor of what would happen to the same
or a similar auction a week earlier or later.

Exactly. I saw an old Amiga game go on eBay for some ridiculous price - about $300 IIRC. A friend of mine got all excited because he has a perfect boxed specimen of the same. So he monitored auctions over the next few weeks as they all came out of the wood-work... they went for about $5...

Heh, bet it made the original buyer feel pretty stupid too...
