Haviland Nankin porcelain service, 70 pieces | Community Mentor Help

A 70-piece porcelain set was put up for auction with a ridiculous starting bid of €10, even though such a set can fetch a price 50 to 60 times higher. I’m interested in this set and I start bidding at the listed base price. Curiously, I am the only bidder and, at the end of the auction, the seller cancels the sale on the grounds that I supposedly requested it, which is obviously untrue. The process is curious: why such a low starting bid? Why a cancellation at the end of the auction? I don’t understand anything about what happened... Of course, I was ready to pay a “reasonable” price for this purchase, knowing the market for these items... Maybe an eBay regular could shed some light on this for me...
