Jeff,
I too followed that auction and expected it to go for at least 2 to 3 thousand more than was reaslized. it looks like the buyer got a bargain compared to the prices over the past few years which has hovered around $23000 to $26000. Maybe the demand is being met or perhaps there is less enthusiasm due to the economic atmosphere at present. with the weakened dollar though I would expect this price to look verry good to Asians and europeans. I am watching for some of the 6238s to be sold on Antiquorum as it reflects a different bunch of buyers. There have been few offered so far this year
