Well well well...

Final sale for £600,000 = ~760,000USD

Resolve - YES

Final hour...

Let the skullduggery begin (maybe?)

24hrs to go and no movement from $280,000...

Curious...

Current high bid = £220,000 which is approximately 280,000 USD.

7 days to go

@PaulBenjaminPhotographer Honestly, I was kind of expecting this to go for $1m+. Are people waiting until the last minute to bid?

@Predictor pretty confident that it'll get a few last day bids and go over the threshold but given the price/liquidity in this market I'm a seller just in case.

I wonder if the potential court case in Spain over ownership has put people off?

adding context for traders: the online sale closes on May 17th
