To the conspiracy theorist, I wouldn't be so quick with those accusations.  If someone is going to shill their own auctions then the second place bidder would be the 0 feedback guy, not the winner.  You'd also see the 0 feedback guy have a ton of bids, slowly and incrementally pushing the other bidder up.
I suspected these wouldn't be paid for though, they went WAY higher than I'd think.  Especially with condition considered.
Having said that, I'm interested in a few, sending PM.
