I've actually talked to the #3 bidder and the item is back up for auction and
is currently priced at around 203.

Now take a look at the feedback. You'll find that
the two high bidders are bogus. The winning bid was actually the #3 bidder, who would be
within
his rights to decline the honor. The only way we'll know how much this *really*
sold for is to check back in a couple of weeks and see who (if
anyone) gets positive feedback from the seller.

At least two people had a clue. One person just really wanted it, and two
must have thought it was made of gold.
