Yeah, I tend to be a little suspicious about that as well ... some seller use shills, either friends or "alter egos" on eBay they have set up, to drive the bidding up. But I still think the success of this particular auction had to do with the spotlight that was beamed onto the Model T. It's clear that a lot of people were not even aware of that model, let alone appreciate its rarity.
