Well, it only took 8 hours or so for someone to report the price.

For future reference for those who are not familiar with such matters, here is the schedule you should follow in case you ever find yourself in a similar position:

Minute 1: Learn price

Minute 1-60: Revel in the price all by yourself.

Minutes 61-120: Get on the web and visit all the sites you can, dropping coy hints that the deed has been done and make initial allusions to the fact that you know the price and what a doozy it is.

Minutes 121-360: Revisit sites to follow up on requests for the price by making more comments and analysis of the price, but still don't tell the price.

Minutes 361-720: Go eat at Bennigans

Minutes 721-960: More website tickling. Report price but in a manner that doesn't really give price. For example, use terms like 'pretty penny' or 'mega-semolians' or 'about 15% less than it would have sold for if it had 30" barrels'

Minute 961: Report price because you think by now someone else will report it before you can.

I do agree, if Burt Reynolds had owned it there would have been some real interest on my part.
