Just to add to what Mark said: The winning bidder made four bids, each higher than the previous one. Since eBay only displays a high bidder's bid as one increment more than the second highest bidder's bid, we only see that the high bidder made four bids higher than the second highest bid.

Some bidders do this to discourage other bidders from bidding since it will appear (as Mark pointed out) that they are entering successively higher bids. Of course, sometimes this is a bluff and the actual bids may be mere pennies apart.

As Mark also pointed out, since Gixen only bids once within seconds of the end of the auction, those bids could not have come from Gixen. In fact, entering your bid on Gixen and finding something else to do while the auction draws to a close is an excellent strategy for ignoring bidding games like this.
