Wow. $830 didn't meet the reserve for that thing? 
Quoted from Captive_Ball:My guess is the winning bidder backed out after seeing the machine in person.
I would think so as well b/c there wasn't a reserve price that I saw. If the winning bidder backed out the seller can offer "second chance" to the #2 bidder so it seems a little odd the seller re-listed instead. Here are the bids over $600 for the previous auction - note 3 bidders who place bids at or over $800:

Why take the risk of a new auction closing much lower unless you've made it far enough down the list such that you don't like the money you are getting?

I have sold a lot of vintage baseball cards on eBay and have noticed that a lot of time the second place bidder will back out as well. I guess people get caught up in the heat of the moment when bidding. I've been pretty lucky in relisting items though.

Not everyone is aware of this feature.

The back-up bidder may not accept their last bid in an effort to get the item at an even lower price when the item is relisted.

It was about 25 miles from me...so if that's not close enough, I'm in the wrong hobby. Hahaha. The guy said "I have someone coming to look at it today, but I'll get back to you." Ad was removed and he never did, so I assumed it was gone. Of all places, it was in the lobby of a used car dealership. Go figure.
And the avatar needed updating...good to be back!

Yeah, I heard about the knock-down targets a while back and looked it up on YouTube to see them in action.

Doesn't that always seem like the issue? Most of the machines I see that I want to jump on are several states away....and going west from where I live it takes 12 hours just to get out of Texas! I feel your pain.
