if the winning bidders auto bidding was set to "beat" an outlandishish bid, then the winning bidders proxy bid was even more outlandish.
Remember, when things go foolishly sky high on ebay, it takes at least TWO idiots to get the job done, not just one. I don't see why these bidders would not complete the sale, they bid what they bid and should honor their bids, no excuses are allowed. -- J.C.

If you look at the bidding, it looks like someone with little experience (or a friend of the seller) made an outlandish bid, which caused the winning bidder's auto bidding (which he had set high just in case) to top it. A jump from $433 to $741 was totally out of character, and the winning bidder bid $10 more. I'd be willing to bet the sale does not go through to completion by mutual agreement.
