It is not at all unusual for items like this to utilize private auctions. People able to bid in this range would rather not have their identities made public on a forum like ebay. Makes them target for a infinite amount of spamming, "special offers" and scam/hack attempts. Since these are items with verifiable sources and documentation I would expect this one to go high. It's already 50% above starting bid.

A Private Auction would be the ONLY way to prevent prankster bidders. The auction seller has to be sure to get bidders to the auction any way he can ( Elvis newgroups, etc. )

The seller got his leads and now can avoid the ebay FVF fees. The ebay auction was a good investment for only the listing fees.

The auction has been relisted and is now for pre-approved bidders only.
