Been watching it myself, definitely something dubious going on there. If I get this right, this is its 3rd outing. The original auction was pulled due to a bad description. My theory was someone had enlightened the seller on what it was (ah well, the buyer and the seller can both leave smiling if the price is fair).
Then when relisted the price went waaay up. Now it's back again? I guess the seller's friend didn't want to stump up the readies.

What's "shill" bidding?

Bids that are made by friends or associates of the seller in order to bump the price up. :knuppel2:
