A follow-up. I e-mailed the high bidder to find out why he bid so high and outlining my suspicions. He responded that he had reached the same conclusion before the auction ended but had placed his bid through a bid server and had forgotten to withdraw it. The Seller (as I said, a fine and honest person) after hearing about bidder's error, allowed him to withdraw the bid.
Be careful out there! Check out the First Editions link which I added to my first post.
