Heck, had I seen that auction while it was still live I would have bid on it as well. Why not when the seller stipulates that they have no intention of making somebody pay.

You still have absolutely zero proof aside from your own conjecture that whoever the buyer was didn't actually pay for the auction. The winner seems to own a computer company in Australia and is a reputable ebay user, not some kid seeking to ruin a viral internet auction for the fun of it.
