Seems to me the issue here is with ebay allowing the asking prices/shipping 
prices to be changed after the initial post.

After I told him I would buy the items if they
were fully working BUT BEFORE he sent me the
reply stating they were working OK he raised the
starting bid AND buy it now prices TWICE. AND
he change the shipping prices higher too!
There were no bids yet. It is a little known
fact but a seller can change min bid, BIN, and reserve prices up or
down at any time during an auction as long
as there are no bids and at least 12 hours
remaining. 

I still cant believe he honestly still thought
I would buy them after he did that that little trick. That
one is for the record books as the dumbest salesman
of all time. And I KNOW he still thought I would
buy them because for one thing he still replied to 
my question and secondly he even sent me some new
pix via email that I didn't even request to help
make the sale!

what do you mean by "he raised the price"? did he raise the reserve? 
or BIN?
i am not even aware that one could change the conditions of an auction
once a bid is placed.

best,
