It didn't look kosher from the get go.

My opening bid would have been $100 or so.... :|
Keith,

Looks perfectly good to me. In this case (and with the relist) the bidding starts at $69K, that is the opening bid price and the minimum first bid you can place, so in effect that is the 'reserve' price. Who in their right mind would put a car like this up for auction with no reserve and allow bidding to start at $100, if that was the only bid you'd have to sell at that price.
