Someone please explain this to me....

It certainly doesn't look shilled. A couple of bidders have the odd bid retraction, but nothing crazy, and all the sellers other items have sold within "normal" dollar amounts.

Two people putting nuke bids - that might end up killing one person?

Something tells me the seller won't be receiving the payment for that auction.

 

[BillInDallas]

Either someone wanting attention for their auction or someone toying with the seller.

 

[canucksfreak19]

[hederman]

I would have paid to see the seller's and "buyer's" faces when that last second snipe came down the pipe.

Someone needs to find out where the seller lives and send the paramedics ASAP!

This.

Likely two set builders or Ovy collectors who thought "If I raise the bid high enough, maybe I'm guaranteed to win if somebody bids something dumber than usual like $200."

Had a hell of a similar case a few years back over Phish tickets for their final concert when I worked within. Two buyers sniped at something crazy like $9,000,000. Both buyers were backing out saying they placed nuke bids, but were willing to pay something still equally ridiculous (like $5,000 for the pair) anyway.

The seller was asking us whether they could take the high bidder to court to try and procure the winning bid, knowing full well it wasn't real, but wanting to teach them a lesson about bidding too high.
