Kenny ColeCraig,
Peace be unto you. No one said that the reason the Donlin dropped $8K in 4 years was because it was trimmed; that was just a hypothesis that may have some basis in fact. Similarly, no one said that the consignor in this auction took an $8K bath. Rather, TBob said that if he had taken an $8K bath, he'd be sleeping in the park. So would I, if my wife was feeling lenient that day. 
Not even you, who seem to know so much more about it than anyone else (are you the unhappy consignor?), can deny that the Donlin card is now selling for 50% of what it did then. That's just the fact. Chill out and find your happy place. Merry Christmas!
