those bids by m**r were probably his high bid response to someone else
trying to out bid him for the GS. If you notice his first bid is $300,
which was probably what it took to outbid the person with the $150
bid. He could have set his initial bid at, let's say $1000, $300
outbid the previous high, it bumped to $400, $500 and $600 as other
people tried to outbid him.

I think a**a was outbid by m**r then tried to get it three more times in $100 increments and gave up at $600. So in a minute or two you get m**r auto-bids winning 4 or 5 times. I wonder what his max was?

Then where are the "forcing" bids from a**a?  If a bid is made, it is
shown.
