Are these gold bricks or something?
Can somebody please explain to me what made these stones worth so much?

The explanation seems simple enough...someone sold something to someone else for a lot of money. Not like it has anything to do with us, though...
If you'd like speculation, I reckon one of those might be a cutler's green--a very very VERY rare stone with a bit of unobtanium in it.

Something seems a bit screwy, how/why does one guy raise his bid from 67.60 to 2180.00 in one shot for no apparent reason?!

That is exactly why those stones are precious. They radiate something which makes one bid at least 3k on the spot

There is something fishy about those auctions. Rare stones or not, the bidding doesn't make sense.

i agree i dont think there is a logical reason to go from 65 to over 2,000 i think this guys buddie jacked up the bid to make it look like this stone was rare, i cant think of another reason why anyone would jump a bid so much.

To tell you the truth there are Japanese Stones that if put up for sale would cost so much these would seem like bargain basement steals.

The question in that auction is what led bidder "s***e" to make a last desperate bid for more than 2200 GBP for the stone?

It looks like bidder "e***n" had placed a couple of early bids, then got out bid, and decided to place a very high bid (2180 GBP), perhaps thinking that no one would bid that high.
He was wrong.
The thing to remember about eBay is that there is always someone out there with more money than you.
