Thank you for the kinds notes.  I have made contact with the buyer and am waiting to hear back.  Needless to say, the auction went higher than I anticipated.  I agree that it was an odd auction.  I have never seen so many folks bid early and then have absolutely no sniping at the end.  No complaints, mind you, but it was odd.  The stacked bids strategy was taken to a level I have never seen!

Thank you to everyone that commented on this thread and helped me prepare for the auction.  I am very happy to be sending this item to someone that will truley appreciate it in a way I just can't.
