Yeah, these things run funny sometimes, though this one has just been listed starting today I believe.

I think for a number of items, potential bidders, knowing full well they are going to bid at some point towards the end, just 'watch' the item. Then, as we all have seen many times, in the last few seconds an item can go from like $30-$40 (where it has sat for a number of days) to $200-$300 or more.

I think it is the psychology of "Oh, not really interested in bidding too very much for that item" for most of the time it is active to truly showing their real intent in the last few seconds.
