I call shenanigans on the bidding. 3 bids: opening price 3500, bid #1 is for 15k? then bid #2 is by a 0 feedback for 15,100, and bid #3 is same bidder as bid one.

Something's not adding up.

My 2cents.

The #2 bid seems suspicious, considering it's from a new/zero-feedback account. However, the original bid appears legit, as the account is established, with plenty of feedback. Of course, that could still be a shill account, but I don't think so. You're not going to run the auction up by bidding over $15K on a car that may likely not be worth that much (my opinion on valuation only), because you'll end up owning the car again. What is shown as bid #3 is actually the eBay system automatically incrementing the original bidder's bid; s/he entered quite high a $ figure from the get go, and the system will keep incrementing until a higher bid comes along. Not a smart way to bid, IMHO, but it's not my money.

If the action's for real, that's really good news for all of us, no? I wish!
