This has become an interesting Saga. Seller had no idea of what she had and thought a French buyer would want it (?) so did not think to promote anywhere else. Top bidder was ,you guessed it, Japanese. Now bidder must have sleeping as he contacted her this AM. All is well and good. Fly in the ointment? Seller was considering relisting in hopes of getting more. My advise (other than to be honorable) was she already hit the Dinger and should leave well enough alone. Her high bidder did not have any competition at the end so my guess was $4500 was more than anyone else was willing to pay.
