PS: Rumor had it that real bidding stopped around the $800K mark last time
Oh, Bill, you're making that up! NOTHING like a "shill bid" EVER happens at auctions! And of course now the "value" has been established at $950K so it MUST be worth more now, right?

Heck, if the Mafia did half the stuff auction companies do, they would be shut down in no time!

And how about $500K for the 2014 Mustang "Shelby GT500 convert" at BJ Reno? I LOVE the ring guys doing the "Hey, you're on TV!!! You don't want your friends to think your weiner is small, bid more!!!!"
