I guess what impressed me the most about it was how the auctioneer first
called the eventual winner a cheapskate when he upped the bid by only
$25K, and then finally when they were in the smaller increments close to
$1.3M the guy that phoned in bumped his finally bid by $200K and put the
dagger in the heart of the other guy.  Wicked.
