That's what I mean... one or two or even three of them could have been stooges, but there were 20 or so people who bid right behind me (or me on top of them I should say) so I know there was ample demand.

If there were one or two usernames running up the price, then I'd be suspicious.

That's all I'm saying: one or two people can drive up an auction, but an experienced buyer will/should look at the bid history to see who they're bidding against and how they're acting.

Of course for better or worse it's complicated by the fact there were no comps. No sets had come up before (in 5-6 years) and none since.
