Not seeing the bike, I would hope the seller got his money out of it.

Ah, makes sense. The math adds-up. Funny they'd do it that way, but I suppose that is the real price out of pocket for the buyer.

...and that's why the "bargains" at any major auction, like MECUM, and few and far between...(IMHO). :wink:

And don't forget the fee in order to bid and the seller's fee.
The auctions make out pretty well.

I also watched live as that Henderson rolled off at 45000, now shows 49+. BTW, I watched it live on you tube. It's on today right now.

Having an infantile sense of humour, I looked at the thread title and perceived a gap between the two syllables in mecum.
It got my attention, but I presume I am in error...?  :popcorn:
