I was all excited when an auction was announced 
from Mandarake to the general public, but after 
seeing those starting bids, I won't be joining 
in.  I'd rather search through "for sale" pages 
at numerous dealer's sites, or browse through 
private galleries.  I think I could find fairer 
pricing elsewhere and NOT have to pay an entrance 
fee.  Sorry...just my humble opinion. ^_^
