Sorry, but I am not seeing this at all. He had a buy it now price which went away like they all do after the first bid was placed. He had a few phone offers in the first minutes of the game being listed. He said let me sort through what is going on with the auction/buy it now price and by the time his head stopped spinning, the auction was well past $12,000. It is always said, if you want a bidding war, place it on eBay! Well, that is what is happening here. I say congrats to the seller and congrats to whoever wins this collectors item.
