A high percentage of bids with the seller; and
A large number of retractions; and
Low feedback; and
Whole number bids in a sporadic increments.
I only see maybe one of those things here. Certainly not enough to out an auction and accuse people of shilling, but what do I know.

I don't agree that shillers have a large # of retractions. Some do but most don't.
As far as the Sean/Greg accusations many of their auctions had some crazy bid histories. The "random" bid histories I posted in that thread actually all came from Greg's eBay listings auctions.
