Pulling all of the facts together, it absolutely sounds sketchy.
I don't ever put a high bid on any item. If I bid early on an item, it's to guarantee that I get notifications for when I get outbid and when it ends. If I don't get outbid, I know I got the card at a steal of a deal. Otherwise, I only snipe at the end at a price I'm comfortable with.
Also, I do not like Probstein. I had one encounter with him and it was enough to always second guess targeting any of his auctions.
