I like where your head is at.

But I'm not convinced that the filthy rich are any more disciplined than the rest of us poor slobs. Maybe I've just known too many rich people who seem like they are just as human as the rest of us.

My inclination is to suspect that the underbidder here probably decided to stop when it hit $1M. Then decided "what the hell, I can stretch a little more", and bid again. A little later, made the same decision, and all of a sudden it's up to $1.3M, at which point the underbidder decided they were done.
