Enjoy this brief video of an auction taking place at some unidentified Italian location. While the auctioneers patter is in
Italian, there is no doubt what transactions are being identified. A Chinese Ming Vase is up for auction, it opens at a half-million
Euros. Bidding is brisk and each bidder is clearly identified as he raises the bid by 100,000 Euros. [the exchange rate today is 1 Euro
= C$1.54] Within seconds the bid stalls at 1-million Euros, and the gasp from the crowd identifies the excitement that prevails in the
room. The successful bidder is the last bid of a million, and the auctioneer counts down the bid ... going once, going twice and sold
to the gentleman sitting in front of me for 1-million Euros. Now, you are going to have to see the video for yourself to see the
surprising conclusion...
