Warning: Auction prices are
related to, but are not identical to, up-to-date "values." An
auction price is set, under conditions of passion and fervor, by the individual
with the most money in his/her jeans for the specific item. Auction prices
are affected by factors ranging from mild disinterest to desire ("this
one'll complete the set!") to outright blood lust ("I'm gonna
bid that *#!*%* up!"). Use these results for insight, not gospel.
