There are at least two bidders with private feedback. So really, that
could push the price to any amount they want.

It woud be intersting to know whether this seller often has bidders
with private feedback. I've sold a few items on eBay, and never had
one. The fact he has at least two on one auction is suspicious. If he
gets lot of auctions private feedback bidders, then I would be very
suspicious.
