I hope the dealer honors it. It's an auction. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes it gets you.
I'd hope there wouldn't be any weaseling by the seller, but there is. My guess is that one of his consigns placed the auction. They're new to ebay, and screwed up by not placing a reserve.
I'm not sure an honest mistake makes it fair for the dealer to take a $20,000+ hit.
If some knucklehead placed the auction for the dealer and made a simple mistake that he's liable to lose his job over, I couldn't in good conscience take the car. Definately not worth it.
I suppose that'll all flesh out.
