Can someone explain this

Tomi

Bidder (191) goes from a $91.00 bid at 7:08:56AM to a $500.00 bid in about 2 minutes later at 7:11:02AM with a total of 16 bids.
I thought PWCC was going to stop this.

Looks like nr(553) put their bid in the day before. cn(191) was probably trying to outbid their high without going with a crazy bid. Personally, I just bid my highest price towards the end, so as not to get caught up in the emotions of an auction.

For a card that sold for $2,000+, why be concerned at all about how many bids and how quickly they occurred to go from $91 to $500? Even if cn(191) had come right out with an initial bid of $500, or even set a snipe for $500 instead of bidding at all, cn(191) would have still been well short on their attempt to win this particular card. Nothing to see here.
