Jim, While this auction sale may have established a benchmark, I'd say it's only a benchmark for sales to benefit charities; ie, where a (large) chunk of the "price" is actually a charitable contribution (and thus a tax deduction for the buyer). IOW, it's the same thing we saw when early examples of the GT ("40") & /or the GT500 were sold in the same (fund-raising for a charity) circumstances. What'd be REALLY interesting to see is the documentation the seller's getting that does the allocation between "charitable contribution" and "value of item purchased", eh?
