Color me: confused, shocked, amazed, whatever.

This does NOT make sense.

I kind of have a feeling that it was a scam. He/she (it was anonymous) bid $28 million, but when it came to forking out that money they did NOT have it. That I can understand. Happens all the time with auctions. Folks bid without having the funds assuming that they will never end up the winner. They enjoy the sport, the adrenaline of being part of the chase. Then they discover to their horror that they WON. They don’t have the money.

Scheduling conflict?

Come on.

It is a Tuesday. So, it is unlikely to be a wedding.

Even a funeral can be postponed.

So, come on. Give us a break. This was a scam.
