It's been brought out that the underbidder on the Mile High T5 Jackson admitted such on this Board. That's all well and good. However, that same underbidder hours before the close of the auction posts on that same thread that he expects the card to go for around $150K. The thread started when the bidding was at $89K. Three hours later the underbidder made that prediction. About seven hours after that the bidding was at $131K. While I don't know exactly where the bidding was when that prediction was made, it was obviously betwen $89K and $131K, probably closer to the $89K based on the usual custom of the bidding to sharply accelerate as the auction nears its end. Now why would a person who intends to bid aggressively on an item with hopes of buying it possibly want to make a public pronouncement telling everybody how undervalued the item is?
