Shill bidders?

I am thinking of bidding on this item but im suspicious of shill bidding,the bidding could be genuine but with so much shill bidding going on,as i say im suspicious.I actually feel quite guilty thinking this,as i feel im tarring everyone with the same brush.I will prob wait until the "death" & bid what i consider to be a reasonable price,any advice or views?.

    Two relative newbies chasing theprice as far as I can see. No evidence od shill bidding. Bid late and high and you'll beat them both.

    On the face of it, it looks reasonably ok.

    If it's the 3133stephen ID you're worried about, I've checked him out and he looks ok.

    Or is there something else that alerted your suspicions?
