It would be interesting to know the cat and mouse going on with that car, if any. Although only a few exist, there may be even fewer potential buyers. As there was apparently at least one other bidder qualified at $10 million it seems that when / whether you bid is as important as how much. It could be that the bidders were probing the market as much as the seller. And a reserve auction made that possible. Personally I find this to be more interesting than some dude just backing up a truckload of money.
