I bid on a few items with the subject item seller and have been fortunate that the items I've bid on didn't appear to be shilled. Keep in mind, I usually don't bid on post 1950 higher grade cards.

Not sure if there are 2 shill bidders, but 2 bidders on that item do conspicuously seem to love one seller in particular. Also adding to the shenanigans is a bid retraction at $130, which occurred before the unrealistic run up.
I've also gotten caught up in the heat of bidding and ended up bidding slightly higher than a BIN option, but this case is 250% higher than the BIN options, and also the heat-of-the-moment overbids I would argue happen in the few minutes/seconds before hammer time, not a day before close.
