I'm pretty sure it's the same guy three times. And if I am correct then the last time the price was around 120 000$. It would seem that this coin has gone up in value in demand within the last few days.

yeah it started at 100k , then is slowly getting it to 200k lol, did notice too.
It does seem a bit expensive comparing older auctions.

The strange thing is that the original poster himself points out as well that the last similar coin was sold for around 30 000$
