Lol George...I kow how that works! Bidder 33968 first bought the UPY 1419 for $190,000; then bought the UPY 1456 for $340,000 and finally one more, the UPY 1483 for $200,000; all three were MP15N.
Bidding generally started with "wholl give me a hunderd-thousand dollar bill?"; then "hows about a fifty thousand dollar bill?" Generally shot up once he had a bid then.."hunderd-ten"; "one-twenty";"one forty back in the corner" "one fifty on line" and thats about where they stopped...all except for the "Porsche".
