Good price, but crappy looking vest. Why so many bids?

I can see there being so many bids cause of the price, but does anyone else not like the look of this vest? It's too dark of a brown.

it's a terrible lookin' vest!



...but, it ships worldwide AND the bidder started it at just 99 cents

Also, even though there are 14 bids, there are only 3 bidders, one of whom has zero feedback, and has bid 10 of those 14...

This is one of the Mark 1 vests, available in different shades. (A1 sold a black vest with tan piping. Now THAT looked terrible).
This aint worth getting for the patches either because they are the old 9 inch size.

this guy is bidding on his own item i bid on it when it was less then a dollar and he said he wants over 100

Not that i have any insight, however, based on the pattern of the bids, i do not believe the seller is engaging in "shill bidding", which is how eBay describes the practice of "when anyone bids on an item in order to artificially increase its price or desirability".
