So this dude lost $2k on the card, when he could have made $14k accepting my way-above market offer., and I got a Speaker Drum for $9k less than I offered, but for $7k more than Luke paid for the original Drum I wanted (and his is as nice as mine).

I remember you winning the Speaker in the later auction. I was considering doing a Speaker back run at the time. Had 3 or 4 at the time, but knew if I was serious about it, I needed to get the Drum. It turned out I wasn't very serious because I wasn't even close on the bidding. I later traded all my Speakers and picked up a WaJo or two for my main collection.
