Weeeelll ... we don't know what the seller paid for the tickets. And yeah, the claim that none of the losing bidders was at all interested makes this whole thing, while an entertaining story, a little dubious in terms of believability.
Having a friend bid up your items is a well-known (eBay) scam. There's also just 24 hours before the game, so some people will already have found something, and this kind of "side deal" means that the buyer loses all protection.
In short, I can imagine the redditor having trouble selling these tickets.
