Is Christie's like eBay where you only pay some amount over the runner-up's top bid, or is it just an ordinary auction where you pay the price you bid?

The buyer pays the price bid PLUS an additional premium above the bid - in the US it is a heavy 27% for this sale.
"27% of the hammer price of amounts in excess of $50,000 up to and including $1,000,000;"

Yes, it is like eBay, at least for online auctions:
"A max bid sets the highest bid you are willing to place on a lot and continues to bid on your behalf until that bid is exceeded. If two or more bidders leave identical bids, the first bid received takes precedence. You can change your maximum bid amount if the current bid is lower than your maximum bid."

This one did indeed go to RR Auction. Here's the live listing:

So basically, they are selling an LISA 1 chassis with a (authentic?) front bezel and no twiggy drives.
Keyboard, square mouse, and a 5mb Profile
My option is the estimate seems high but then again given the final price of the OP, anything could happen.
Worth a watch if you are keen to see how LISAs are being valued
NOTE: As pointed out, I was mistaken. I had overlooked the least amount of text an auction house could give to one of the most critical parts of a LISA 1.
That said, given the drives' unknown status and the obvious lack of images, once again, I can't imagine it being a positive sign.
I apologize if I appear overly critical to this type of presentation.
The concern lies in the aftertaste of auctions lacking details.
Regardless, I hope any bidders on this board will share further information gleaned in the 'condition report' post-gavel.

It (the one at RR Auction) has its Twiggy drives. That's an original Lisa 1. Not currently in working condition, but certainly a good foundation to repair and have fully functional again.
