If I didn't know the guy who consigned it (who also has a few others at the auction that I won't mention) I was sincere in wondering what it would go for. I did expect that most of you had seen it though, wasn't trying to drum up the biding.

This statement alone will make some bidders cringe as it appears like a hidden reserve. I am not saying that is what you are doing, but in the auction world you have to deal with perception and it is not always the same as reality.
