I might be incorrect, but it looks like the guy bid against himself. It
seems this might be his first time bidding in an auction on EBay.

He obviously has his heart set on getting this radio!

Can't bid against yourself. (unless you're using two accounts). You can
keep raising your bid, but the bid that shows is only the one that beats the
last bid of the other bidder.

What I suspect is happening is that the other bidder (whom he topped with
his last bid) was 'feeling' for his high bid to try to get the bid as
cheaply as he could. I've done this myself (usually unsuccessfully).
