In the future, I'm going to hold off on reporting auctions like this in advance. My policy has always been not to report on active eBay auctions or single Houdini items in smaller auctions until they are over. Don't want to spoil someone's chances of grabbing a gem at a good price. This auction, like the recent Potter & Potter auction, I thought was big enough that putting on the site wouldn't make a difference. Not sure now. This one might have been on the line.
