That very possible what happened on eBay. You might look into reporting that bidder as a shady customer due to those antics. I know that there seem to be folks there who corner the market on particular kits, then offer them up for ridiculously high prices for the same kits. I realize that is capitalism at its'worst, but it's also annoying. You can also offer up your kits at a "buy it now" price, once you figure out a price that you're willing to accept for the kit. That will reduce the likelihood of such shenanigans. 
Another option is to find modeler oriented sites such as Scalemates or Kitmaker, which allow sales on the forums, and post your kits for sale there.

The post regarding stashes has me thinking. I have 30 or so kits I'd like move out. If I could sell them-- great. I would also donate some as long as they go to a good cause -- and not to someone that will turn them around for a profit on my dime.

Recently, I attempted to sell a kit on Ebay-- to get my feet wet. My experience was not good. I had a bidder willing to buy, only to have another bidder offer much more. When time came to buy it (the higher bidder) -- it was complete silence. The guy stiffed me. I reposted it-- again-- a person offered way more than my asking price. I write the guy if this is a serious bid and it was again ... complete silence. I tell ya. I suspect the guy had the same kit for sale and he was doing all he could to torpedo my sale. I am not savvay with the games played there and I basically just let my sale expire. 

Thoughts?
