Private Listing / Lowball Price / Anything Odd?

Seller has sold 538, feedback rating of 99.2%, currently has two items both as 'private listings' with only two bids on each item. These items are showing currently as less than $5 dollars (however their true value would see them sell for $100.+)? There are only 2-3 days left on each auction. Shipping is reasonable. Seller has changed their 'ID' a few times over the last 10 yrs. ?..... wondering why these items are showing bids next to nothing in value and 'ID' changes over the years? All feedback listed, all good. Anything suspicious here??

On the info you've provided, it doesn't sound suspicious for an auction seller.

 

Watch and see how high the price goes in the last 6 hours of the auction.

In any auction the highest bidder wins, but his cost is set by the underbidder.

 

So if I bid $1000, and the next highest bid is $50, I pay $51.

If the next highest bid is $999.oo, I pay $1000.
