Hard to tell for sure with such a pathetic listing.  I can't believe someone can go through all the effort to list an auction on ebay yet fail to post quality pictures.  Digital cameras are everywhere so there's no excuse.  Especially to warrant that high reserve.  py ads like that make me think the seller is trying to hide things.
People are bidding on it though.  Unless it's shill bidding, I guess I expect too much.  However, I have seen that car listed on Ebay several times before.

Yeah, that's shill bidding.  When you get someone else to bid it up or you have a completely different account somehow and bid it up.  I see it on ebay all the time.  Countless auctions where reserve is met time and time again on the same vehicle only to be relisted due to 'non-paying bidder' yet no feedback is exchanged reflecting that.  Also I see the shill bids ending in ...999 which is a losing bid meant to drive up the price.  It's illegal in real auctions.  I don't know about ebay.
