While a serious CBM collector might have just made an account in the
last 30 days just for that C65 auction (there have been a few auctioned
off over the years on EBAY), more then likely it is just the seller
driving up the price with a throw away account (2nd chance offer to next
highest bidder).
Looking at the bid history, it's certainly possible, though it's
pretty tough to get away with that unless you do it from a friend's home
or office on a different computer. eBay tracks the IP addresses that
bids come from, as well as cookies from the browser, to identify shills.

Won by a 0 feedback buyer, good luck getting $20K from
them.
...because everyone knows people with large amounts of money
automatically start out with high feedback ratings when they establish
an eBay account.
