NOT LIKELY, when you have already got an absurdly high bid on your item, you are not very likely to shill bid because theres a good chance the "idiot" might not bid back and you lose the great sale price you already have in pocket. Shill bidding occurs when the current bidding is at or below, not well above, the typical market value. Like I said earlier, when you see these types of sales, its generally a very rare matchup indeed, "the battle of the wealthy morons".
