Going once, going twice, Sold!! But don't make us guess, Rob, "inquiring minds" want to know what she purchased! You really capture the atmosphere of this auction and I like the jargon. Regarding the Simon & Garfunkel song "Richard Cory," would you believe I don't think I've heard this one. And I'm a big fan of theirs. I'll have to look for it on youtube. Thanks for the tip! Love, Carolyn

Cool use of auctioneer lingo, but you leave us wondering what she bought! Come on, Robert, spill it. Ha-ha

For damn sure, she didn't buy a Stradivarius violin. Great idea, Robert - reads like good up-tempo jazz. Love, Dave
