Might also be
There were really only 2 bidders above the $1,700 mark. And they both bid right at the end of the auction, probably using snipe services.
Could just be a simple case where two bidders really wanted it, and typed in a crazy high number to make sure that they got it. And in the end, one of them typed in a number larger than the other, so got it.
Of course, with that strategy, sometimes the winner might end up paying a lot more than they really wanted to, and so the price can end up being a bit inflated.
Hopefully they actually pay up now!
