Bidding Details
Takes a bit of trial and error to find other item(s) the seller might have bid on himself. Here it is: RARE Campagnolo Nuovo Record Campy Vintage Crankset 170 Strada Crank | eBay

I tend to think this was for real though, and the bidder just does not understand the auction mode.
Not to mention record crank are not all that rare and these have been stripped and polished so to a restorationist they are definitely not worth the sale price. I have stripped and polished a few record cranks but I got them cheep because of rub marks etc.. so it made sense to add the value with my own labour and make them look good because I refused to pay the high prices for examples in truly excellent original condition.
