I thought, ooh, this looks good, I'll go for this (although I guessed it may go for a bit), but then the seller removed it from sale, and then a week later this other seller was selling it!

No he probably contacted the seller and made an offer. Once when Chris and I were selling legos, within five minutes of listing several sets, Chris got a phone call from a guy wanting to make a deal for several of them, and since there were no bids yet, Chris ended the auctions and sold them to him; ebay allows you to do that. Of course, if others are already bidding on the item, it wouldn't be a very nice thing to do. But that's probably what happened here.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Really if you think about it everyone on Ebay and any other auction site is there to make money. If they were just there to get rid of toys and money was not an objective they could much more easily donate the toys to a neighbor kid, charity or worse yet, throw them in the trash.

I guess it is such a nice little custom lot that it attracted the attention of collectors and re-listers alike

I have tried successfully many times to buy a lot by contacting a seller after an auction ends with zero bids but I have never tried to buy before bids or in the middle of an auction. Hmm might have to try now that you say it works  :P

This steck house is very easy to make , doesnt have the door/ window wall frame as one would expect , its just made of steck pieces , i think all together they are worth about 25 euros tops. Some of the klickies are interesting but nothign more than that . Actually if I was to make a harbour house i would use the blue steck house. i think it would look much better than this . Also the roof panel used is very castle oriented and i think a very poor choice for a 17-18th century steck house.
