Yes, eBay is very interesting in that it discloses _exactly_ how much two people are willing to pay when they covet the same item. And before anyone mentions people paying "stupid prices" on eBay; this is all about happiness and how do you put a price tag on that?
Item number: 7145147957
I'll second that Carlo, congratulations to the buyer and it's a really fine machine!

You can't put a price on happiness..but the new owner of that bike just paid a steep price for happiness, is all I can say. If he ever tries to re-sell that bike to get anywhere near his purchase price back, he'll be having some strong feelings, and happiness won't be one of them.
Note well...no comment about "stupid prices" expressed or implied.
