That’s a hidden reserve. I bet that is exactly what it is. It’s being shilled by the AH, except it’s ok bc it’s called a “hidden reserve”.

"I always feel like, somebody's watching me, and outbidding me"

Happens to me as well, I always chalked it up to hidden reserve

Is it possible that someone has alerts set up on the lot, and that they are waiting until someone else bids before they do, hoping that they win the lot with the only bid? I'm not sure that makes any sense, but perhaps some bidders don't want to be the first to bid, especially if the opening bid is high.
