Would the bidding history below be suspicious to you? Looks like this is a private listing. Like I said, I worry about shill bids more when it's a private listing than if it's one that I can see bidders with (0) feedback.

Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown. Automatic bids may be placed days or hours before a listing ends. Learn more about bidding. opens in new window or tab

well...those dollar amounts at least don't seem like fake bids but who knows that's definitely a private listing.

This auction in particular with the Roiland variant tho... he wants it to be public for obvious price inflation reasons.
