I would say that it was either a set up sale (I've had sellers do that for me), or they accidentally listed it with a $1000 buy it now price instead of a $1000 starting price. They only have 1 feedback so I don't think they are terribly eBay savvy.

Why? Why not just sell it to you without going through ebay and paying them?

News about a 'sale' at $1,000 will get around (it got to the Cellar, as an example) and people will visit the ebay site, get the details of the dealership and a proportion of those will go one or more steps further. May have been an experiment and on the surface it looks like a cheap way to spread the word...
