WOW indeed! All I can figure is that they either have a lot of disposable income, or are addicted to bidding on ebay.
I watched that one and expected it to go for about $50.00 or so, lucky seller.

Hi byronleer, I would say that they have a LOT of spare cash and /or don't know what is the regular price for these bulbs. They probably don't care paying up to 10x more. I doubt one would bid this way without having a fat wallet... Millionaires also use eBay you know. I don't have a working brass-based Thomson Houston bulb yet, so I bid on this one too. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the final bid price!!!!
One can never know what will happen in Bulbland!

Given the discription of the lamp, we don't even know if it works. (http://www.bulbcollector.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif)

It's hard to see in the first picture, but the (carbon) filament looks intact. Judging by the outstanding condition of the bulb, it would surprise me if it was bad.

I asked the seller before bidding, and he said that it was indeed intact. He didn't test it for continuity because he didn't know how. I agree, it should work since it is so well preserved, but one never knows...
