Skip retracted his bid because "FINALY GOT SCAN TO COME UP= DID NOT KNOW MATCHES WERE MISSING"

There's a lot of text and images in that auction, and it takes a long time to load. I can easily believe Skip had trouble getting everything to load. I know Skip and he is indeed heavily influenced by cosmetics. Whether changing his mind and retracting his bid is right or wrong is an easy judgement for someone else to make. Maybe he should have spent more time verifying before bidding.

But there are dozens if not hundreds of people in this hobby who know Skip well enough to know he would NEVER be involved in anything underhanded.
