Well, I can't see where it had a reserve in the REA auction so if he owned it going in and coming out of the auction then he obviously had a proxy bidder that won it for him. I see no other way he still owns it. REA does not allow the consignor to bid on their item so that has to be the only explanation I can come up with. Some items even rare or possibly unique still need two interested bidders to optimize the value of the item and they just weren't there two short years ago in this REA auction.
