I have given the current auctions a pretty good look and I have to agree that there are many prices that are not even in the ballpark. The only thing that I can surmise is that someone is either being told they have something worth a fortune and they are trying to verify it, or they are just out trying to find out what they have is worth. The next time this pistol is put up for bid it will start a little lower. I know people who put cars on eBay and if they don't sell them for $2000 more than they paid for them then they take different pictures, rewrite the description and relist it. It isn't about selling something, it is about getting every penny you can possibly wring out of the thing (and then some). Auctions are geared in the seller's favor.
