Its a cartridge that only finalists of a competition were given.

How many of these exist?

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&rt=nc&item=2... Why would someone bid multiple times when they already have the highest bid?

Ebay only shows the leading bid any time a big is placed. So when someone bids higher than the currently visible bid, but lower than that person's max bid, the leading bidder is shown as placing another, larger bid. You end up with the appearance of someone outbidding themselves repeatedly.

The Nintendo World Championships gold cartridges are more rare than the grey ones (only 26 of them were made). The Nerd also covered it some time ago in an avgn episode. Having seen it's not a "super rare elusive game", he smashes the overglorified cartridges with a hammer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs2wczJXETM
