The thing I don't understand though, is that they had reserves on them, so I don't see why they'd even need to resort to shill-bidding.
I guess they really want to move this poster on. First a high BIN, then a auction with a reserve, and finally an auction with reserve and a shill bidder to see how close to the reserve they could get.
