Look at the bid history. Everything was looking pretty ordinary, and then d***n bumped up the price from $28 to $144 in the last seconds of the auction. (Ewww, Gross, man) 2***v just had to have it (and d***n might have had to keep bumping up to match 2***v's bid) Five seconds later (!!) 2***v did the swoop thing and got it. Auction madness.
