When my kids were young (20 years ago) when we'd go out for dinner on a Friday night, I would teach the kids a new word. One of those nights, the word was penultimate.
Within a couple of weeks, my son's grammar school teacher misused the word and got called out on it!
So, was the word misused in the auction description, or are they cleverly pointing out that the restored version is the next to last prize!

To be fair, it was the ultimate prize before they added pen to it.
