Craig,

That is what the major auction game is: Hype! Hype! Hype!

There are all sorts of things that are orchestrated BEFORE the cars cross the stage (including "plants" on the bidding floor to drive the bidding), and often the level of funds actually exchanged are quite different than what you would see on stage (either lower or higher). Not to mention that many of the participants who crave face time love to be schmoozed and have their arm rubbed on national TV. Remember, this is now effectively "Hollywood". Things are often not as they appear.

The old saying goes something like this:

"A funny thing happens when you stop promoting.......NOTHING!"

P.S. I have some extra Snake Oil on hand, and a very nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale. What am I bid?
