"Sorry I hope no one here is bidding on this token (because I hate driving up the price if someone this board is bidding on it)."

Ron; I'm sure you would not feel that way if you were the seller of this piece. This is an auction. It should not matter who the other bidders are. If you truly want the piece ... bid high and bid often what you feel it is worth to you!
(BTW: Not my piece, nor do I know who the seller is.)
