    Looks a little suspect as carhok has bid on 3 of his items winning one of them (maybe by mistake) in the last 30 days. Could be shill bidding or one of his mates bidding it up for them.
    Couldn't get auction number 602760558 to work.
    And they both live in kent.....strange!!!

    Contact Ebay first if you suspect its shill bidding, they should check it out. Contacting the highest bidder depends how strongly you feel about it

    Looks dodgy. But think about it logically. Do ebay really care about this kind of thing? At the end of the day they get more profit from this kind of activity.
