Bid history question?

Is this a normal looking bid history? looks like people are bidding against themselves to me. I know some people get folks to fake bid etc just wondering cos I wanna buy a club off the guy. I just wanna know if it all looks above board?

Looks ligit heres why
Here's how bidding on eBay works:
When you place a bid, you enter the maximum amount you'd be willing to pay for the item. Your maximum amount is kept confidential from other bidders and the seller.
The eBay system compares your bid to those of the other bidders.
The system places bids on your behalf, using only as much of your bid as is necessary to maintain your high bid position (or to meet the reserve price). The system will bid up to your maximum amount.
If another bidder has a higher maximum, you'll be outbid. But if no other bidder has a higher maximum, you’ll win the item. This means you don't have to keep coming back to re-bid every time another bid is placed0
