I have no skin in the game as I did not bid but I know a few people who are quite upset about this thread and outing the auction. It takes some of the fun out of the "thrill of the chase" when someone outs an auction early.

I have no skin in the game either, but I do not favor the bidders over the consignor. Outing the auction allowed the consignor to get a fairer price for his item. That is not a bad thing. On a separate note, this auction house did a horrible job publicizing this desirable piece. I never heard about it before this post, and I’m sure many other potential bidders did not either.
