If I were a cynic, I would say it's sometimes (often even) the difference between legitimate bidding, and cards being pushed up by their consignors.
But of course I'm not a cynic so it's all good.

I have noticed this for a long time on many sites. Not sure of the rhyme or reason, but it definitely is worth a look.
I think the bigger issue when said cards are auctioned off again in the next few months after the auctions ends. Lots of retreads show up and they show often. I am most wary of those.
