People do really insane things at auctions.
I've seen people at local auctions bid more for Sears tools than they could go down to the store and the same tool cheaper NEW. Like the old saying: "More money than sense". |

The Florida Fish and Game Commission used to have a sealed bid auction every year for confiscated guns and other stuff they had accumulated along with their old department vehicles and boats / motors. I knew the guy in charge of all of that, and he told me more than once that they had never sold a worn-out GFC boat with worn-out outboard motor and trailer for less than the state paid for it NEW! Many times they would get more for POS rifles and shotguns that they sold for new as well.
Some people just go batshit crazy at auctions!  |

I saw one recently on ePay for around $100 IIRC. That may have been early in the bidding war however.

I'd just like the difference between what was paid and what it's really worth.

Well it was worth $405.00 to SOMEONE, so I guess it was worth that.

Maybe it was Feinstein figuring she was doing a public service by keeping it off the streets.
