Seeing as how my girl did everything she was supposed to do, isn't there anything else that is open to us? We really cannot afford a lawyer or anything like that.
Maybe when I get home from work I'll post the emails exchanged between them. Man, we're hella frustrated at this point. Help!

Contact eBay. Tell them you want to start action against this idiot. He won the auction. By bidding, he agreed to buy it if he won it. That's all. No further qualification is allowed, unless he cleared it with your woman first. He's violating eBay's terms. Contact them. Worst that will happen is they'll terminate him. Best, they'll force him to finish the purchase.
Here's the text given on confirming a bid, at least for normal items:

You are agreeing to a contract -- You will enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if you're the winning bidder. You are responsible for reading the full item listing, including the seller's instructions and accepted payment methods. Seller assumes all responsibility for listing this item.

He's in violation of contract. Have eBay nail his hide to the door.
