I wish I could enlighten you but seems very strange indeed? I thought at first it was just their first bid at the higher amount but I see your counter between so that cancels that out so I think you need a proper explaination from E_PAY!!

Looks like the first bid was a proxy bid by ebay. The second was either entered manually or with 3rd party sniping software.

Maybe? !@#

Seems expensive for a coffee-table.  Are "strikes and spares" parts hard to come by?

Seen this before, winning bidder was bidding at the same time as their auction snipper.
