I'd be careful about "playful" bidding. I wouldn't be surprised if some law savvy scam artist hasn't thought this up yet; offer something for sell you don't have just to attract bids of others not sincere in buying (or heck even if they are). By bidding you are entering a legally enforceable contract and when it's for $375K it is worth going after the person over. A fake name, etc are great unless they can track it back to you; then the fraudulent signature is interpreted as the real signature of the fraulent signer. The Civic may not even be his; looks like a pic from a car show. My guess is that this guy makes his money by collecting the deposit (and just prays for full payment) and then disappears. That's why he wants a MO so bad, cash and run no account necessary.
