Again, I totally do not get these japanese collectors bidding something up this way long before the auction is over. If there was a reserve, ok. Was there a reserve?

It'll be interesting to see how much higher it goes before it ends. Because I am totally flummoxed by these guys who reveal their interest so early in the game. It makes no financial sense whatsoever.

and if it truly is some kind of "I can spend more stupid money than you can" thing, then I REALLY don't get it. Spending thousands of dollars more than maybe you need to just because you can seems irrational to me.
