Several low/no feedback bidders are suspicious to me.

I don't like the fact that one bidder has moved the price from $301 to
$510 by himself. This looks fishy.

Not hard to do. You'd have to read up on how the bidding process works.

Well yeah I can understand how it can happen. A person just keeps
putting in another bid but why? I can only speculate as to the reason.
Maybe the guy is doing this to off put other bidders but it does not
look right to me because he has nearly doubled the price and established
a bidding trend. Based on what he has done I can predict his next bid.

Right John

This one guy guy just joined Aug.4th. Now he could have just joined for this
auction. The thing is, even though it looks like shill bidding at first
glance, I doubt it is. If this is a shill bidder, he went haywire and lost
all control! No one is going to outbid this guy and pay so much for a
R-1000. I know some collectors will but I doubt this guy is a collector.

But, yes, sometimes I'm amazed at the prices some of these older radios go
for.
But you know what? At this point in my life I can understand it now. Life is
short and may get even shorter with the way this world is politically.
Anything could go down and who knows what.

So, if paying 5 or 6 bills for this radio is going to bring happiness and
joy into this guys life, it's worth it to him and that's that.

Lucky
