I think there are probably many explanations depending on the card.
1. Shill bidding.
2. Sale isn't real, didn't go through.
3. Huge premium for centering.
4. Your friendly neighborhood card doctor thinks it can be worked on and improved.
5. Bidder with lots of money and big ego who just wants to win it.
6. Stupidity.
