I would not compare HA with Goodwin. The hammer price for that nun Wagner was way too much and the original winner knows it after the "hyper" that's why he never paid for it. HA contacted a wealthy collector and he picked up the tap, I am pretty sure that wealthy collector thinks all the money from that nun Wagner sale would go for church renovation so it was kind of like a charity thing.
BTW, did i mention HA allows themselves to bid on their own auctions??
