Here on the other side of the Atlantic many archives do monitor ebay. One result of the monitoring has been the occurence of a couple of cases of replevin resulting in the recovery of stolen government documents/records. Many institutions do bid for items but most do not have the discretionary funds to go after pricey items.
The likelihood of an institution bidding against a potential donor is pretty slim when you consider the number of folks accessing ebay.
